Oldfan71 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Testing of aged LaScalas. my LaScalas have travelled with me to various places where I moved to over 46 years. Simply the best that's the truth. There is a distortion happening can I remove the electronic components for testing at an approved Klipsch agent rather than hauling the boxes Thanks Brendan Adelaide Australia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted March 10 Moderators Share Posted March 10 Welcome to the Forum. 46 years, that’s quite a history. I think the knowledgeable folks here can help you isolate the source of the distortion from home so that all you need to do is arrange for those parts. I believe the first thing that will be suggested by @Deang and others is to make sure all of the connections are tight and secure. Then they will have you make sure that the distortion is from the speaker and not an amp by having you switch the speaker wires from left to right and right to left. From there they will help you identify which driver(s) are the culprit, and from there whether there are replacement parts available (diaphragms) or if a complete driver/woofer replacement is required. We have several forum members down under who may be able to help with a knowledgeable dealer or the distributor down there when/if it comes to that. Photos of the backs of your speakers will also help, along with photos of the crossovers and connect strips with screws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
