Soliloquy 5.3 Driver Replacements


Hi all,

Does anyone have any info or suggestions for a good 5.25" mid/bass replacement for a pair of Soliloquy 5.3 floorstanders? I blew at least one last night in a freak turntable short accident. Damn Paul's Boutique 20th Anniversary Re-Issue... :)

I know that Soliloquy is out of business, and I've already contacted Walter at Underwood Hi-Fi with no luck. He pointed me to Madisound and Parts Express, and neither of them were able to come up with anything close to OEM specs in terms of size.

The flange on the blown driver appears to be 155 mm, and the cabinet opening is 120 mm. There were a bunch of similar posts on Agone over the past year or two from others seeking the same information, but if anyone found the right drivers to use, it doesn't look likw they ever bothered to post back. That is something I promise I will not do.

I've already set up a saved search on eBay, but I'd rather not spend upwards of $700 when a single driver (or even four replacements) would do.

So, that's my long-winded way of saying "HELP!!!"

Many thanks in advance,

--Jim.

Thanks so much! I've joined the site and sent that guy a message. Hopefully I'll hear back soon. In the meantime, if anyone knows of any aftermarket drivers that would work well, I'm all ears!

Thanks again,

Struck out w/the guy on the AVS forum. He says that he did have some drivers and cabinets, but that he's lost touch with the guy... :(
I saw a more recent post with pix but cannot find it. If it pops up, I will let you know.
