I have a pair of B&W CDMs that I bought on ebay a year ago. I tend
to buy speakers I don't need and felt I got a good deal. After about 6
months or so, I finally got around to hooking them up. There is hardly
any high frequency output. At first I thought the tweeters were fried,
so I found some replacements from Madisound or PartsExpress.
It
was a relatively simple job, but they sound exactly the same. So now
I'm thinking both the crossovers have issues. Any advice on how to
proceed would be helpful.
Of course the seller stated they worked
perfectly when he had them. He used them as surround speakers and
wanted to sell them after he torched them or they stopped functioning
properly.
I've seen crossover wires break on the PCB's during shipping. All sorts of things can go wrong. It could definitely be a crossover problem. Get a multi-meter and start looking. :)
Hi. You better have a look at the crossovers to check for excessive heat damage. Capacitors may look slightly swollen and heat damage could be around the resistors. Post pics if possible.
