I have had an amazing central speaker for the last year. The top of the line RC64III.
Recently I started hearing a humming, I thought it might be and object that was vibrating nearby, but upon close inspection I realized that it was the second cone. The problem is more noticeable around 70 to 90hz. It's the only cone doing that. If I push my finger (gently of course) it stops doing it for maybe 20-30 seconds, then it starts again.
It might be the spider that got unglued, but I don't know how this could have happened so soon, after only one year of use listening at moderate volume.
The thing is that I live overseas (Chile) so sending it back and forth would be like 1000USD.
Do you think I can get an original cone from Klipsch? I can replace it myself.
If I can't and I have to glue it myself, do you think it might alter the sound?
