I did something really stupid and knocked over my beloved KEF LS50. I dented the gold driver--it sounds fine but doesn't look great. I talked to the KEF factory and they will replace the driver for $150. I don't live to far away and can actually just drop it off for surgery. My question: is there any reason NOT to do this from a sound standpoint? Is it correct to assume that once I put 100-200 hours on the repaired speaker (i.e: break it in), it will sound virtually the same as my other speaker with the original driver? Thanks!
150 seems a pretty decent price compared to some other companies. I’d by 2 and change both, and then you have one good spare.... if you plan to keep them a long time.
