Studio 200 tweeter replacement - Page 2

jheoaustin · 29th October 2007, 05:04 PM

Unfortunately for me, I remember ProAc distributor's quote 3 ~ 5 years ago for the tweeter was at least 3 times as expensive as Madisound's price on equivalent Seas Prestige tweeter now. Considering the drop of USD value, I am afraid it would be now at least 5 times as expensive as the generic one. I never got back to the distributor after I saw that outrageous quote.
I have a very powerful DSP equalizer and I believe it can correct the tweeter response deviation from its orginally intended one.

Madisound also supplies the rebuild kit and can rebuild them for you at a reasonable price too!

That would probably get you closest to what you had at a reasonable cost. If you do both, you will be done with this issue for a while and you might even like it better!

Keith,

Thank you for your suggestion. Does the rebuild kit mean something like what Madisound call 'replacement voice coil'?

I went to their site to check and I see what I remembered. They sell and repair many of the ScanSpeak products (that's what are in my Studio I MK IIs) but I don't see anything about the rebuilding for Seas! I remember a few months back a guy said his kids pushed in the dust caps on his Studio 125s I think his were also ScanSpeaks and he rebuilt them himself. I don't know much about Seas but I would call Madisound, they were very helpful with my options! Sorry I mixed this up on you, it would be a nice option! But maybe they do so call them!

Good Luck!

Regards//Keith

a little late (by a few years) - but I have replaced mine with scanspeak 9500 - lovely result - highly recommended.
