I see, thanks. Just wonder: how much would stuffing/lining will help the bass in an already large cabinet? Like JBL's typical "bookshelf" speakers.



If I can safely open the back panel of the...

Well, the fiberglass lining in my speakers has thinned out, so I think I need to replace them, either with new fiberglass sheet or with something like Monacor MDM-3. The speaker in question is a pair...

Thanks for the reply, folks. I was actually afraid it was the diaphragm, but I hope it's just foam flakes as SEAWOLF97 mentioned. As for the ebay seller, he hasn't replied my messages yet.
...

I see. Well, do I need to rewind the VC? Or replace it entirely? Won't sound the same with the original, but I wonder if rewinding the VC could at least approach the original sound.

Anyway, while...

Sorry for the late reply, and thanks. I have measured both tweeters. The normal one measures about 3.5 ohm, which seems to be pretty normal when compared to other 044Tis on hand.The quiet one,...

So I've just bought another pair of JBL 044Ti tweeters, and upon testing them, one tweeter is notably quieter than the other.

I tested them in one speaker (the right one), so it couldn't be...

I see, thanks again. Will replace the foam. In fact, it's what I've planned all along, but I don't dare doing it until I have a spare pair. But now I have it, then I'm definitely going to do it.
...

Thank you! :)

Anyway, the ring-shaped adhesive needed to re-assemble the 044Ti after replacing the foam; where did you buy it and what size? Thanks again.

So I bought a pair of JBL 044Tis on ebay. The description says "excellent working condition", and the seller has 100% positive feedback out of 1826 transactions, and he seems to specialize in audio...

I see. Thanks. Anyway, if I found a spare 044Ti, how do I know if it's threaded or not? Mine have white base. The spare pair I spot also have white based. So does it mean that the spares are also...

Well the right channel of my amp produced loud static (popping and cracking) this morning (long story), to the point that the amp went to protection mode. I worried such thing would destroy the...

Interesting suggestions. Thanks folks. :)

Well, how to say it? The 120Tis' tweeters really shine with Sansui AU-7900. Still as loud as when driven by the NAD C326BEE, but much cleaner and *very* detailed! Oh, and it's not fatiguing to the...

Well despite their beaten condition, they still sound really good. I really enjoyed the intro of Scatman (Game Over Jazz) (sung by John Larkin).

I have to admit, first I don't like their HF, which...

I see, thanks! I'll start with the drivers.

So I bought these pair of JBL 120Tis.

Functionally, they sound fine. At least I couldn't find any flaws...

Ah, I see. Thanks! :)

Where did you buy the double-sided adhesive ring, by the way?

Thanks! :cheers:




Now I envy you! :D

I wonder though, would a pair of 052Ti work, at least as "temporary solution" while refoaming the 044Ti? Well, it doesn't seem my 120Ti need a tweeter...

So, I have eventually bought the 120Ti.

Remember the "tch tch" noise I told you about? Well, turn out it was because the dealer was not very careful in attaching the speaker crocodile clip. When...

There were differing opinions. macaroonie seems to be excited with the 4315s I found, as well as giving some tips on restoration. But like I said, the effort will consume way more time than what I...

Nope. If only replacement parts are easy to obtain, I may buy it. But restoring it would consume more time than I currently have. Not to mention I am inexperienced in restoring speakers.

By the...

Well, yes. But I have to admit that I fell in love with 120Ti bass sound. If the speakers are restored properly, I believe the experience re-creation can wait



Well, I didn't like the tweeter...

Thanks for the advice, Rob. :) Actually, the more I think about it, the less eager I am to buy the 4315.

But what would you think about the 120Ti discussed in another thread? Will it be easier to...

You don't think the possibility of aged damping pad Earl K has mentioned? We're not exactly talking about a new pair of 120Ti here.

That's why part of my question is about restoration, because I...

Well they were used in recording studio, who knows what kind of abuse they have received.


I have browsed ebay.com.au frequently, but haven't found what I want. It seems I have better chance with...
