Going To Look at Calipers on Tuesday

Posted by Mister Pig (A) on August 12, 2007 at 21:44:39

Hi all,

Going to head out and look at some Calipers on tuesday. I understand its important to see if there are signs of foam detioration. Also if the ribbons have any buzzing, or cracking sounds. And the overall condition of the frame.

OK, now if all this checks out, and I decide to bring them home. Is there a tune-up process for them that I can do? Can the bass panels be tightened reasonably easily? Should I even worry about this, if there is no noise from them? Is there a way to inspect foam other than dissasembling the entire speaker? I really dont want a restoration project, but I am willing to invest time and some $ into tuning them up. Your thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, plan to run them with a pair of Monarchy SM 70 PRO amplifiers set to mono. Should be amp enough for moderate listening levels in a smaller room.

Regards
Mister Pig
