Hi everyone,
First time posting here, but Ive been reading the forum for months in preparation for restoring a beautiful old pair of JBL L150's that I recently received from my stepfather.
I am currently re-foaming the PR300's and and 128H drivers with one of Rick Cobbs wonderful kits (think you Heritage Forums for pointing me in his direction...)
Anyways, the actual question I have is about the LE5-10 Mid-range driver. One of them has a rather large dent in the dust cap (see picture below).
So I was wondering:
1) Will this have any effect on the operation/sound of the driver?
2) How much effect? (I realize that this is an objective kind of thing, but lets assume that Im somewhere between a highly discerning audiophile and a tone-deaf Bose owner )
3) What would be my best option (repair vs. replacement) should I (we?) decide that this dent would unacceptably blemish an otherwise flawless and unparalleled piece of audio hardware?
Thanks for your input!
