I have a wonderful set of Hitachi HS-335s which I have been running from a TEAC A-H500 reference system. Unfortunately the large woofers are both 'slapping' at any decent volume (too much loud dub). So I thought I would get the bass drivers replaced but struggled (in London) to find anyone who would do it. When I did fond someone he thought it would be £400 or so - and I don't know whether the mid-range or tweeters could also be nearing end of life. So I looked at new speakers but it seems anything in the £400 range is two-way and doesn't approximate the quality of these old speakers. Alternatively I started looking at vintage secondhand 3-way speaker pairs but again - are they all likely to start failing...and what brand to get ? Its a minefield. Nominally 50w 8ohm amp - I was looking at a pair of Klipsch KG 2.2 but without trying them on my system...am I going to be dissappointed ?
I would welcome any suggestions for
a) refurb services
b) new comparable speakers
c) vintage speakers that will last
