Hales Transcendence 5’s slight discrepancy

After much measured my technician told me that the speakers are in good condition. The new rebuilt crossovers redone 18 years ago were rebuilt properly and still match each other. The technician this time says that the crossovers parts are excellent and they should not be replaced. The speakers match for the most part and the technician is checking out everything. My speakers are in better condition than I realized but that’s awesome news. The still excellent condition rebuilt crossovers from 18 years ago will remain and the drivers and wiring are still good. 

It seems that the imbalance between tweeters was due to the speaker box’s themselves. The woofers also require repair. Instead of my Hales crashing in a year or more the rebuild and repair should keep the speakers sounding good for years to come.

The speakers have been tested and are very close to one another. I have several graphs that the technician sent me and the speakers measure well. The new built crossovers 18 years ago match the values of the original crossovers and still function perfectly. We were going to completely rebuild the crossovers but when the technician saw what the replacement crossovers were like he said that the new crossovers were in excellent condition with excellent parts so he recommended leaving the crossovers alone. The woofers need to get new input wiring and the speaker boxes themselves need a little work. I’m excited to get my Hales back.

They are back in place and sound incredible. I suppose after 21 years a few screws need tightening. I’m very pleased with how my speakers came out. The technician 18 years ago did a good job redoing the crossovers. I was prepared to spend up to$8000 to redo my speakers but my current tech had the speakers 6 weeks but only charged me $500.Best money I’ve ever spent in audio.
