Hello all,
I am new to the community and thought I'd run a question past the experts.
I have an old set of N.E.A.R 50 me floor standing speakers, which I love.
However, to my dismay, I recently experienced an annoying buzzing coming from the woofer of one of the speakers. After much troubleshooting, I concluded that the source of the problem was the driver itself (as opposed to anything associated with the amp channel or speaker crossover circuitry).
Furthermore, I have discovered that I can rectify the problem (at least temporarily) by manually exercising the cone a bit (i.e. physically pushing the cone in a quarter in or so a few times).
It's as if the old gal needs a bit of stretching before she's ready to produce!
Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? Am I headed for eventual total failure or will my remedy keep her happy for the foreseeable future?
