Goodmans magnum problem

Unread post by Toontrev »

I've noticed this evening that one of the mid range units has developed a buzzing, creating a lot of sibilance on vocals etc. Pressing the tip of my finger on the edge of the cone stops it but I cant listen to them any longer. Any ideas on a possible cure would be gratefully appreciated.

Is that the audio equivalent of the I.T. guy saying "try turning it off and then back on again?"? :lol:

Old drivers, like old human beings, start to sag, sometimes I wish I could turn my head upside down.

Just a quick thanks to say turning the driver 180 degrees did the trick, no more buzzing. Great.
