Possible DIY Project MS 700s
Posted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 8:58 pm
So, my MS700s. DQ has suggested that I give them the full treatment: armour plating 'n'all.
As a minimum I probably need to put new foils in those Decca Kellys. One is definitely ropey. The speaker connections are little bolts (no banana plugs here!)
I've never taken a speaker apart. It looks fairly straightforward - speakers are screwed (the 12" and the 4") or bolted (tweeters) in to a front panel, the panel is screwed into the main cabinet. But, if I take it apart, what then? Steel plate lining, no base crossover capacitor on the tweeter, hardwire? And the cabinet is tatty - that could do with a bit of a makeover, maybe get some proper lacquer and get high on formaldehyde?
