Replace Dynaudio woofers?


Hello. I have a pair of woofer blown Dynaudio Contour 1.1s They have been sitting, unused, in a clean, temp controlled room for at least 15 years. I hooked them up recently and the tweeters were emitting sound.

Is it worth to source OEM woofers to replace? Is it an easy job I can manage myself? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I think the Contour series uses a different tweeter, but it should look similar to this D-260 with two metal tabs to connect the wires and then mounting the tweeter into the enclosure with the existing screws. Pretty much plug and play.  Give Dynaudio a call for specifics. 

I just popped mine off and it is indeed a D-260 tweeter and looks exactly like that picture. There was no glue holding it in place so perhaps yours is stuck from age or heat (which may explain why it seems damaged). The wires have a bit of solder on them, but this still seems like an easy DIY. Try the other tweeter and see if its also stuck. 

Out of curiosity I tried to pop off the tweeters on my 1.8mk2's and they are stuck on.  I'd try to pry at the edges of the metal ring with a thin flat head to create some seperation, and/or apply some pressure to the back of the tweeter through the bass port using the handle end of a long screwdriver or something.  The tweeters are already damaged so you dont really have anything to lose at this point. Good luck 

These are great tips; thank you. But my issue is that it’s the woofers that are blown (maybe that wasn’t clear in my OP). I would imagine they’d have some dampening glue on it. But I’ll take a look with your tweeter tips soon; too deflated now to have another go lol You’re certainly right about having nothing to lose, but Inwoukdnt want to scratch the wood. Thank you!!

 

 

Ok popped off a woofer and it was as easy as the tweeter so at some point they probably glued as well as screwed them in place, but mine were definitely not glued. The model number on the woofer was 84310 or 15W38 not sure which is the model.
