Dallas DFW speaker crossover repair gurus that you'd trust


Looking for a speaker / crossover expert in/around the Dallas Fort Worth area who can test or upgrade or fix my speakers.  I always have something I'd like an expert to look at but don't trust your normal "speaker repair shops" who are not accustomed to specialized higher end products.

People I WISH were in Dallas:  Danny Richey with GR Research and Bill Legall.

Anyone know anyone?

Crossovers are not rocket science DIY your own repair or upgrade and learn by doing seems like a win-win to me.

Is there more of a story here than what's been told so far?  Capacitors are simple to replace and coils almost never go bad. Unless burnt, resistors also rarely go bad and are should be easy to replace.  The only issue sometimes is getting access to the crossover. 

Of course, the other issue is when people want to change the crossover from what the manufacturer designed.  Crossover design, measurement and listening tests are a challenge, so this begs the question of why you want to change the crossover design of a speaker you originally thought enough of to buy.

@mlsstl good question. First of all, when I took out the rear speaker binding posts, I noticed the wires are connected with WIRE NUTS. Duntech would NEVER do that so the xover's have clearly been messed with.  These are over 30 years old so it's not surprising they might have been tampered with and I'd like to know what was done.  It's impossible to track down the original owner so I just want an expert to look and make sure things look ok and something wasn't totally jacked up.

They sound great as is but I wonder if I could be getting more out of them.  Again, seeing wires with wire nuts is a huge red flag that an incompetent person was medling around in there.

@dtximages -- I'd suggest the most important thing is to get your hands on a schematic of the original crossover design and compare that to the network in the speaker now.  Hard to know what lead to the use of wire nuts, but that can be fixed by any competent tech. The key is to have correct info about the original design.
