My friend bought his ProAcs here. Give John Rutan a call. I'm sure he will help you out!
Replacing dead woofer on ProAc Tablette Sig 50 (NYC area)?
I have a pair of ProAc Tablette Signature 50s; one of the woofers is dead. I brought it to a local guy in NYC, who seems knowledgeable but is apparently not some famous high-end guru; he says that the woofer needs to be replaced, but he doesn't have access to one that will fit.
I've messaged ProAc, who haven't replied in a few days, and I'm just trying to get a sense of what my options are. I've always liked these speakers, and I would like them to work, but if it's going to be a years-long effort of finding the right person somewhere in the world to fix these, I'll just have to toss them and find another pair of something.
Is finding a replacement woofer easier than this guy thinks? Or is there somewhere I should be taking them to in the NYC area who'd be able to fix this? Obviously, I am myself extremely unsavvy, technically, but I'd hope that these are both repairable and worth repairing.

Do not throw them out. ProAc Tablettes are very nice sounding speakers. I would try to find the right replacement driver--not something off the shelf that might be a close, but not ideal, match for the original driver. Locate the right driver, from or according to ProAc, and it should be easy to do the replacement yourself or have any competent dealer do the replacement. It doesn't have to be ProAc doing the replacement if you have the right parts. |
I did a quick search on Google and came across this:

Great info on this thread. Nice research. Just curious--after reading of these multiple accounts of woofers going bad I am a bit baffled (no pun intended). Even driven to higher spl's, it seems odd to have woofers fail. Thinking of how many vintage speakers voice coils have endured half a century of music making. |
