Vintage Stereo Speakers?
I recently moved a pair of electro voice interface series 2 speakers and a sansui AU X301/i amplifier that were just sitting a corner of the lounge room into my room and hooked them up to my xbox, tv and ipod. They were just sitting around because when we moved house we got a new surround sound system. I am wondering how good the stereo system is, because i estimate it to be over 20 years old. My late father bought them before i was born, and according to my mum he was a gear feak, so she reckons they are awsome. The thing is the large cones in the speakers are giving some distortion from medium to high level volume,so should i get them repaired or buy a new system?
You don't specify the specific model, but in general these speakers have a good reputation. See the link for some info.
While the speakers may be damaged in some way (e.g. a cone could have a small tear, or the cones might have got damp at some point) but there may other reasons for the distortion. I'd suggest connecting the speakers to another amp (e.g. your surround system) before assuming it's the speakers themselves.
If necessary replacement (8") Woofers are on offer on eBay for a reasonable price (See 2nd link) ... but only one day left to bid.
