Guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 HELP!- I am a speaker idiot but I love music!I have a pair of AR studio monitor floor speakers tsw 610 seriesEF 02861. The base woofer and midrange are not working (the foam has come off around the edges and they sound awfull)My question is 1) is it worth rebuiding these speakers versus buying a smaller (new technology) speaker that will take up less room 2) If I replace the woofer and the midrange will they sound like new or will I ned to replace any of the electronics inside 3) What are the cabinets made of - they are so heavy.Any help would be appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 You can only appreciate the true performance of your AR speakers with the foam replaced. AR speakers can work correctly only when the cabinet is completely air tight. With a rotted foam, the seal is broken and all the parameters of the woofer (as well as the midrange driver) are changed.I think most modern small speakers cannot produce bass as deeply and clean as vintage ARsBest Wishes,Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 How much you want for them? Where are you located???ThanksChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2001 Report Share Posted November 3, 2001 I've had the surrounds disintegrate on my Ar2ax's and my Infinitis .........my audio repair shop tells me that the surrounds DO NOT LAST FOREVER- he recommended replacing them every 10 years. The elasticity degrades, even if they're not blown. Spend the money, if you trust your service depot. (I'm not technically savvy on this, but my experience bears out his advice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
