Thanks - yes, I replaced both units, though I did so one at a time - ie I listened to the speakers with one new diaphragm installed and one old one still in the other channel. They sounded wildly...

Awesome information..

Thanks a million

Earl - yes there was some serious oxidation on some of the spades etc when I first purchased the 19s..

You shared the pic of my HF unit there - do you think that surface oxidization could have a...
