Where can I get replacement woofers for Athena AS-F1.2's?

[Rob_63]

Since I have plans on buying a new speaker setup I pushed my Athena towers just a bit too hard last night and smoked the woofers in both speakers.

I was playing around with a bass test cd to push my sub and didn't change the mains to small to keep the lower frequencies from gong the the towers. (dumb move on my part )

Can anyone recommend where I might be able to find suitable or exact replacements for them? I plan on passing them down to one of my sons after they are repaired.

thanks!

Probably going to be tough since the Athena line was discontinued. You'll probalby have to contact Energy and see if they still sell drivers or where to get them.

Oddly enough, my local electronics shop found exact replacements for 33 and change apiece, that was a lot cheaper than I had anticipated!

Good for you.

Athena was part of API, which also made Mirage and Energy. API was sold to Klipsch which quickly killed Athena* but some parts are probably still available. Klipsch still markets Mirage and Energy.

* Maybe because it cut into their Klipsh sales big time?

So that explains the similarities that I noticed between Athena and Energy speakers.......

thanks!

The woofers should be here by the end of the week, I think they will serve a new role in my HT residing as surrounds. (that is until I finish buying more JBL's then my son gets them )
