    LX5, LE15A, LE85 restoration. Diaphragms, surrounds, components?

    Hi,

    I bought vintage JBL speakers that have been in use in finnish broadcast studio.

    They have following components:
    -LX5 crossovers, needs repair. I was thinking that i could rebuilt these, if i get schematics and advice how to do this
    -LE15A woofers, needs new surroundings. Black or white. Where to buy with international shipping?
    -LE85 tweeters, needs original diaphragms. Now they have cheap aftermarket models. Where to buy?

    Both of these beauties also have JBL SE408SE amplifiers.

    So please help me with these. I would like to buy correct components with first try.

    I couldn't add photos here.

    Thank you for your help!

    The old JBL crossovers were not so good. LX5
    Maybe someone on the forum here has a suggestion for a new crossover.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the tip!
    I emailed Rick.

    I will email that reconingspeaker also.

    I tried the speakers with MiniDSP 2X4HD active crossover and i liked it. I just want to keep the speakers as original as possible, so i would like to repair the LX5 also.
