Thinking they need new power supplies or caps? Have to do little research. The woofers are in great shape got them for cheap at garage sale. I may just replace the amp all together. That work great as stand right now! lol. I have 2x paradigm ps-1000's version 3 and 1 ps1200 I use across the back of the room because that is the best placement for the subs and feels the room very evenly.

I had a PB12 many moons ago. It was a pretty good sub for music but the amp died, which happened to most of the PB’s they made. So, I built a sonosub our of it. I don’t know what the FS was, but the bigger lower tuned enclosure really brought something out of the driver. It was much smoother and better overall. The driver is in another experimental situation currently. Reactions: photographer86

P photographer86 Audioholic Apr 25, 2019 112 0 28 39 Sep 1, 2019 #26 Ya it seemed a lot of amps died in that jbl line. My paradigm's are much older and still going good that I bought used. Cheap design I guess. Yes as much as I like the look of some towers on top of subs, as we know not all rooms are perfect. To the right of of the pictures I posted, the kitchen is there so it opens up. My Livingroom kitchen come together in a L shaped with half wall. So The subs the 3 i have work best next to couch both sides and on center back wall. So ya just using future projects as stands for now. The klipsch rf5 are tall enough for tweeter to be at ear level but I kinda like them a little higher. It too me ads spacious sound and fullness.

So I finally remembered to ask SVS about polishing the speakers and he linked me to this page. To remove light swirl marks, follow the steps above and then apply a high-end automotive polish rated safe for clearcoats. Use light pressure and avoid polishing edges or corners. To maintain that glossy look, use an automotive finishing spray rated safe for clearcoats, and gently apply with microfiber cloth. Rubber surround elements can be treated with an automotive cleaner rated safe for rubber and vinyl. Never spray directly onto the surround or cone – always spray on a microfiber cloth and then gently wipe only the rubber surround. Last edited: Sep 11, 2019 Reactions: Trell

That’s just from heavier wax application in some areas. I would try the spray by itself. Just to see how you like it. Full confession...I’ve even used it on my plasma...[emoji16] Reactions: Pogre

Pogre Audioholic Slumlord Jul 29, 2016 16,146 0 113 56 Mesa, Arizona Sep 14, 2019 #37 One thing they mention for dust also is compressed air. I tried that just yesterday and it worked surprisingly well on my piano gloss finish. I like that you're not wiping/scratching it off with a cloth or duster, tho I still stand by my swiffer, lol. It does a great job too and uses static electricity to lift particles off the speaker instead of smearing.

You guys might be interested in a product called Black Hole Glaze from Poorboy's World products. It is specifically made to fill light marring and swirl marks while adding depth to black paint. And if you want something longer lasting than wax, try a polymer sealant. I'd imagine that inside a house, two coats of that would last you just about forever. It makes cleaning cars super easy, so should be just as good on a speaker. Reactions: Pogre

M Macmack Audiophyte Dec 14, 2019 2 0 1 72 Dec 14, 2019 #40 Hi, I have just joined this forum and have 40 years of experience in building maintaining and repairing audio equipment and I was naturally interested in this thread. However after reading some posts I thought for a moment I was in the good housekeeping forum with all the talk of polishes and cleaners etc. I feel that keeping loudspeakers in good condition means maintaining their ability to produce accurate undistorted sound. So with that in mind, some suggestions: rotate bass drivers 180 degrees to help reduce cone sag and therefore coil rub and tighten all bolts to stop any rattles. While the driver is out put a couple of silica-gel dehumidifier packets inside or If your speakers are ported, drop them in through the port (I have had to replace many drivers suffering from oxidised coils due to damp or humidity). While you're at it check the gaskets aren’t so compressed that they no longer seal. Clean the driver terminals if they are the push-on type and make sure they are tight. If the drivers have foam surrounds, check for disintegration. Unfortunately, there’s not much can be done to reverse this but because exposure to air is the cause, their life can be extended by coating with non acidic rubber cement if it’s applied before disintegration happens. As far as cosmetics are concerned use whatever works, just don’t stick them in the shower. - regards Macmack.
