speaker repair in Bay Area

[Brandon Burke]

hi folks,

tweeter blew on one of my monitors last week. actually it was a couple

of weeks ago by now, but i've been too busy to do anything about it.

regardless, i need to get the thing fixed or simply replace it altogether.

can anyone recommend a place in the Bay Area to go, preferably in

San Francisco?

thanks,

Brandon

so you don't come on here in years and then you have a problem and you expect everyone to run to your aid? that is a lot of nerve.

just joking. sorry.

thanks Eric. i saw this listing though Google as well, though i must

admit to being a little intimidated by his list of clientele: Neil Young,

the Dead, Metallica, etc. (The Clientele itself, however, is strangely

missing..) in any case, i've decided to wing it and replace the tweeters

myself. i have enough engineer buddies around here to help me keep

things like frequency response and such in check. can't be that hard..

p.s. gosh Donald, i guess i didn't realize we had *that* kind of a relationship.

you don't still have my toothbrush do you..?

Ah, just listen to all those dub records and you'll be fine...

My recommendation - try to buy a replacement speaker and fit it yourself.

believe me, i thought long and hard about replacing the tweeters.

but these particular cabinets are somewhat mysterious in that i'm

not sure how the tweeters are fixed in there and i don't want to risk

stripping out where the screws go in, etc. point is: an audio hobbyist

acquaintance (from three cities ago, now) put them together using

old cabinets, so there's no general instruction manual or schematics

to work with. who knows, i may try it out later..

anyway, just to follow-up it appears there really aren't any speaker

repair shop in SF. seems crazy to me but i searched everywhere. then

i called the kinds of places that would know where a speaker repair

shop would be, and they couldn't tell me either.

so there you go..
