My experience with Totem has been exceptional, they should be able to troubleshoot your speakers. If you do have to replace the woofers I hope they are not the same as my Mani1's, a concentric pair of drivers in each box. That could become expensive in a hurry. Good Luck, but you should be in good hands with Vince at Totem, he knows his speakers inside out.
Totem Model One: Woofer buzzing, help please?
Hi I just got a pair of these >10 year old Totem Model 1s. I love the sound but there is this "buzzing" coming from the woofer when I play certain bass heavy tracks.
My amp is barely past 9.30-10 oclock position, so its not as if I am blasting it.
Considering the age of these speakers, Has my woofer blown?
Would a solution be as simple as getting a replacement pair of woofers and hooking them up?
If so,
a) Can I get them directly from Totem (I'm in asia and don't want to have to go to the "authorized dealer" who will most probably charge me an arm and a leg for the replacement parts)
b) Is it easy to replace woofers myself? I'm pretty handy, but if there is a lot of complicated soldering/other not so obvious things involved, it might be better to leave it to the pros.
Thanks :)
