Hello All, I'm posing to get some opinions on my most recent woe from people who know speakers better than I do.
I dropped one of my surround speakers (Goldenear Sat3). The plastic case was not happy about this, resulting in a few inch long crack and a chip out of the corner of the back of the housing. I could glue the chip back in.
Do you think this will have a big impact on the sound? Can it be fixed?
The place I bought them from took the attitude that it's a cheap speaker, and should just be replaced, but $250 isn't that cheap. He didn't think it would have much effect on the sound, but it seems that might be because he thinks it's a bottom end speaker to begin with. The whole back unscrews easily, and they will look into a replacement next week.
Basically, how important is the cabinet sealing at frequencies above 100Hz?
Thanks,
Mark
