B&W DM6 speakers

I have a pair that I purchased second hand about 10 yrs ago, I have greatly improved their performance by replacing the crossover capacitors and internal wiring, in fact the improvement was remarkable. Capacitance changes and leakage increases over time as the dialectric deteriorates effecting filter Q - the original design is sound, do not attempt to replace the ferite
cored inductors. We have a full electronic lab and were able to quantify results with before and after measurements - the results obtained will more than justify the expense and effort involved. Use only highest quality non polarised audio quality caps, non polarised electrolytics are definitely not in that category.
Good luck with the mods.

I'm italian, so I'm sorry for my english. Tomorrow I have four B&W dm6. I have listen music from dm6 until 1980. I go every year to Milano for TOP AUDIO. I have never listen music like my dm6.

I owned a pair in the seventies, after having DM2s and DM4s. The "pregnant penguins" were excellent speakers at the time; the bass was a bit tubby but the rest of the range was state of the art.

I just got a pair of these on ebay, they do sound fuller than my matrix 1's, buy the kevlar mid only has a concave rubber cone - not a convex one. I know these need to be repaired but in the mean time can anyone suggest a good repairer in sydney (i am going to use len wallis audio) and any idea how much this shoul;d cost ?? thanks.

do you know where i could get manuals or pdf file for these thanks
