Revel Salon 1 mid range drivers


Both 4" mid range of my Revel Salon 1 making scratchy noise.  Push the driver lightly making the scratchy noise too.   Revel not longer carry the 4" drivers.  Any good repair place?   Thanks in advanced!!!

So, I gave this some more thought. Now you might want to seek out other opinions about this, but what about heating the frame by touching the screw hole with a soldering iron. Getting the frame warm, but not too hot that the cone's glue comes un-done. Then using some type of hook to try and pull the frame from the seal.

I hope this is helpful.

I found 1 thread that the owner didn't have to destroy the driver to get it out, most have to destroy the cone and pry the basket out. as to replacements Revel is no worse than other companies that only guarantee supply for 10 years after model discontinuation' 

I had the same experience as @amhifi. I managed to remove the drivers without damage and cleaned out the voice coil gap on both of my Salon 1 midranges with success. It was detailed work but not hard. If anyone is interested I can write up some details about how it was done and the tools required.

Hello sound and music,

 

I would be very interested in how you removed and cleaned the mid driver.  I have a few Revel Embrace rear speakers with similar mid drivers as the Salon and they are all making scraping sound. 

thanks for your help.

I managed to write up a set of instructions to how I cleaned out my Salon midrange drivers. It would apply to any Harmon driver that has this peeling problem. I also have a Revel center channel so that gave me three times to practice. The first one was scary to do but by the third one it was a tedious but doable job. PM me and I can send you the .PDF instructions.
