You may have to do some research but there are plenty of shops that do re foaming and crossovers etc.,for old Kef speakers..Unless you know what your doing you could end up making a mess of a perfectly fixable pair of quality speakers..My suggestion is to spend some time on the computer and or call a local Stereo Shop ( a good one ) and get some referalls...You are not the only one to have this situation come up.......Get it done right the first time.......It will cost more but it will pay for itself with years of enjoyment....
KEF 107 - opening them? + other questions
Hey everyone,
Long time owner of a pair of KEF 107 originals. Replacement parts and drivers dont seem to be available any longer.
Its a well known problem that the foam surrounds on the woofers tend to degrade and fall apart over time.
Recently it seems my bass has dropped off. I get the impression that one of the woofers has separated from the surround. Could be the crossover.
I'd like to open them to inspect. Anyone done this? Advice on how to get to the woofers?
Next, should I need to replace the surrounds, what kit should I use? Can anyone recommend something for me?
I have seen mentioned that there are instructions out there on how to replace the surrounds, can anyone provide a link to a reputable link?
Lastly, I have read that capacitors will degrade over time, is this a myth or true? Am I dreaming thinking the caps in my crossovers can be replaced? And how can I get the same quality caps? How do I even check them?
Thanks, everyone.
