Hi,
I have this speaker that has a problem with high frequencies that go on and off randomly. It feels like as if there's a blanket in front of the speaker, then it goes away then it comes back...
One thing I know is that if I turn the volume know it all comes back to normal, but I have to crank it up.
Can I fix that myself?
Anyone in the LA area who can fix it?
Cheers, J.

ok that's it. I just remember I had an extra pair of old surround speaker, so i took one of the driver and connected it and boom it works.
That means my tweeter is at fault. Great.
Any possibility to dig into such driver?
It's a d28/2 Titan, made for the 1.3SE only if I recall correctly.

Madisound still sells dynaudio drivers but only with the exchange of the part you are replacing. Looks like they have the d-28 for $150, not sure if it's the right one though...

It's near the bottom, good luck

Dynaudio usa says it's $275 to replace it.
I don't see anything cracked/loose on the voice coil plate.
Could it be a voice coil gone out of spec?!
And could that explain the fact that it works when cranking up the volume?
It's confusing because I haven't found anything broken in there!
Depressing.

It is possible for a skilled tech to repair voice coil failures such as that one, often the fine wire breaks before it starts wrapping around the former and can be resoldered. I've seen it done successfully before. Maybe find out if there is a speaker repairer near you and ask if it is something they can fix. The main thing is to treat that dissasembled tweeter very carefully, they are easily damaged.
yeah well case closed for now. I've shipped the tweeter back to Dynaudio and will get a replacement in 2 weeks, at a cost of $275.
Now I'm still wondering if the fall almost 3 years ago impacted the tweeter at all, or if dynaudio tweeters are prone to failure in general.
Thanks!
