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?

@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.

@mlsstl true but I'm not competent to read those diagrams ha.  I would need to get them to the right person which is why I'm looking for the Dallas guru like Danny Richie.. I just cant lug these huge things up to him very easily.. I have young kids who don't allow me that much me time :)

@dtximages -- not to belabor the point, but once you have the crossover schematic, any competent tech should be able to determine if what you have in your speakers matches that design, and fix it if it doesn't match.  Even sophisticated passive crossovers don't have that many components -- the original LS3/5a crossover had 16 components which is a high number for a crossover.  We are not talking hundreds of components in a complex design.  Sounds like the hard part of your situation will be finding someone who makes house calls.
