middlecreekguy Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I`ve got a little issue to resolve and need some help. When I played a piano piece on the Cornwalls the other night, I could hear distortion in one of the tweeters. The only way to hear it is during quiet passages. It was that fuzzy sounding distortion you get when you have a lot of dust on your needle. But this was a CD. I reversed the signal and the distortion stayed with the same speaker. My next step is to change speaker wire encase it`s the culprit. But here`s my question. Can a diaphragm be damaged but still work? The speaker still has good high end, it`s just a little distortion I pick out when one instrument is playing solo, softly. By the way, this speaker is all original, the back has never been taken off. An `85 Cornwall. So what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Yes. A diaphragm can be damaged and rub the magnet gap but still work. I have a spare K-55-V still doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean your scenario is like mine, you can only hear it during soft passages? So after investigating the speaker wire, I should go in the direction of the diaphragm. That is what I thought all along. Looks simple enough to fix. There is a link in the archives that shows how to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
