[Boatanchors] Tweeter Pot On AR-4's

Tue, 8 Jul 2003 08:00:03 -0700 (MST)

As Maxwell Smart used to say: "Ah the old woofer hole trick, eh?"  At
least you AR-4 owners have a pot to clean.  Don't recall a pot on my
set of AR-5's.  And with the prices they want for replacment parts, don't
think I want to disturb them to find out.

I have a set of larger speakers one of which slowly started sounding
'grungy'.  Made at least a temporary fix by physically reversing it's
position.  Apparently the cone had slowly sagged and by turning the
cabinet over has allowed gravity to fix it!
