Title: Unbalanced
Post by: SeVeReD on November 29, 2013, 03:11:49 am
For about a year and a  half or more, I started hearing a slight imbalance in the system.  I found myself using the Pass xover Rt/Lt volume to shift the top end of my speaker to the right. Well this doesn't really cut it because it was only one driver messing up (a 7" mid which sounded fine on it's own, I've got 4 total in the system; somehow it's sensitivity got mismatched to it's partner?).

Well, spent some time and found the driver pair causing the mismatch (I took out both cause I never knew which side was off), and replaced them with some different drivers (same company; same configuration;  different model), and woohoo, balance is back, and with my choice/blend of drivers I'm very happy with the change of character of the speakers. 

It's been something I've"ve been wanting to do for awhile now.  And although my soldiering skills suck, it all seems to work.  yea for me  I always say I strive for tonality first... but I like me a great soundstage too.

Nice that you managed to find the failing one Dave. I can imagine that indeed that can be a tough job.
Happy listening again !
