Hallo all,
My mate is considering replacing his Heybrook HB1 LMF drivers with Vifa M21WG-09-08s and we wondered if anyone who has already done this could comment on whether or not the new drivers sound the same as the old without mods to the crossover? I know the new ones are the recommended replacement but am not sure whether they will have the same FR & T-S parameters as the old.
Thanks in advance for any advice on this.

I have not noticed any difference when I did this swap several years ago.
I am not aware the design has been changed and do not see any problem, if either of you are fairly handy at diy you can buy replacement foams and rebuild the originals which could save some money or give you a spare set for the future.

Thanks for the info, it's good to know that it should turn out ok, much appreciated. Sadly one of the old drivers has an open-circuit voice coil, quite probably due to prolonged use at excessive SPLs, so new ones are needed rather than refoaming the surrounds, which would otherwise have been the best option. At the moment we're having difficulty getting any of the 3 UK stockists I've so far tried to reply to enquiries (my mate is in Australia and needs to know how much the shipping will be, etc.) but once we've got around that it should be all systems go.
