Team, no kidding! What a forum! Yes, that would be awesome if it's a white K8K to match mine I would get it from you, the only thing is I am located in Alabama... Tom, please send me an email if you are willing to ship it to me? igor at uab dot Thanks a bunch Igor

Thanks, $35 is really not too bad.

That thread seems to be the same problem, and probably a better description to what I am hearing. What I described as buzzing is probably closer to that raspy sound. Thanks for your help guys so far, and one thing I have not understood is why that noise goes away after I push on the woofer with my hand, and then comes back after a while... How much would rebuilding an 8" woofer cost, any idea? Thanks

Thanks Moray. Well the cap seems pretty sturdy in place. I tried removing it with a vacuum clener gently but it is solid on there. I have to say that it does not look like it is coming off. I may do it as the last resort, but I should be ready to replace it with another one before I really tug on it. I am pretty sure that the buzzing comes from the outside of the woofer at about ten oclock position and even when it goes away, I am not touching the dust cap at all, still pushing on the poly cone.

Hi all, my first post. Own a pair of KG4s in what I think is great shape. I'm the 2nd owner and pushing them with a Marantz 2252B receiver and all sounds really nice. On top of regular listening, I started using this setup while playing my TD-3 e-drums ocassionally. It all sounds great and I am not playing too loud either, but lately I noticed that the right speaker had a sustained buzzing sound when I would hit a low or floor tom... Sure enough, I started hearing it all the time, while listening to the FM radio, iPod, even talk radio. I took the grille off and it was coming from the bottom K8K woofer in one of the speakers. It still works, but the rattling lasts about a second after I hit the tom on my drums and it's bothering me. I read some posts here about lightly holding hand on the white part of the woofer cone while hitting my tom and it sounded like the buzz was coming from about 10 oclock area on the woofer, and if I would hold the woofer cone at about 4 oclock and hit the tom louder, the buzz would go away after a few hits. I would play fine without it for a few hours and then the buzz would come back the next day, so I am not sure if my woofer is damaged or is this something that will go away with time. Why does holding the woofer fix the buzzing anyway? I tried to swap the woofers to test, but after taking the screws out, it seems the woofers are glued to the cabinet? Am I missing something about taking this apart or should I just pull harder on it? Can someone give me tips on disassembling this as well please Thanks in advance!
