Especially, as I'd noticed that some Sorcerers were even badged for use with the tweeters at the bottom (mine were not)...
so... have had them sat that way for a week now, and I have to say these things are fantastic.
One seems to be working perfectly but the other is definitely low on bass at low volumes, which changes into some distortion at certain low frequencies with the volume up.
Anyhow - with the drivers 'upside down' I can see very clearly that the issue with this speaker is a textbook case of what I now understand to be a common problem with Royds - the drivers getting gummed up... see http://www.roydaudio.org/articles/repai ... p-drivers/ for a brilliant description.. on my 'broken' one there is very clearly a big splurge of black goo on the pole-piece.
So - I'm going to need to do some surgery... I can see there's quite a lot of goo on the pole piece, and my concern is pushing the driver back by hand (and how far I dare push them)... would it not possible to expose the pole piece using a battery attached to the speaker inputs (presumably 'in reverse') or would this burn out the tweeters?
Has anybody here every 'degummed' a Royd driver?
At the price I paid, there's not too much to lose, but it would be a shame to knacker them...(I might well buy some more even if I did)
