g-day everyone, I was just pointed to join this forum from a member on audiogon.
I'm new here but look forward to visiting regularly.
I purchased many years ago a full custom 3way speaker setup from a club that was closing down.
4 JBL 15" woofers in W horn boxes. 2 JBL mid woofers in Horn loaded boxes. and two horn loaded tweeters with custom made fibreglass horns.
They have been working for a number of years without problem (were made in the 80's). Til recently one of the tweeters were acting up (not very loud).
Having pulled the tweeter apart it seems the voicecoil is deteriorating. When removing the dyaphragm it completely fell apart now won't work at all.
Trying to find out who made it and if its possible to even find a replacement dyaphragm.

Just a quick note on my home gear: My home audio has custom Dynadudio 3ways. 2 parasound HCA-1000A power amps (for tweeters and mids) and two altec lansing 9444B (for woofers monoblocked) in a completely active setup. using a DBX driverack 260 as crossover. Just using a parasound preamp atm.
