Hi, another update, the fix I had in place with additional padding didn’t ultimately solve the issue unfortunately.

The mid range would still distort and was much quieter than the other speaker. So I decided to have a go at repairing the midrange.

I followed a similar process to this video The coil had become detached so I glued it back into place and resoldered the coil wires. Fingers crossed everything appears to be all good now.

OK, in my speaker the capacitors were untouched and all the values were as they should be. I’ve had another tinker this afternoon and I think the extra padding has worked and re-adjustment of the foam has worked, so time to start enjoying these great speakers!

I tried a halfway house solution this afternoon of adding more padding and it seems to have improved slightly. Fingers crossed that this is the root cause as it would be a big jump in my DIY skills to repair the midrange driver.

AdamS, do you remember what type of foam/padding you used?

Hi Adam, thanks for the reply.

I don’t suspect it’s the capacitors in the crossovers. The problem was present before changing them over and the values were all correct in the replacement kit sent by Danish Sound Parts. My hope was that changing the capacitors would resolve the issue, but this has not been the case unfortunately.

I’ve taken a look at the foam previously and it looked good at first glance. I’ll try adding extra padding to see if this fixes the issue and report back.
