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.
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. |
@yogiboy is correct call audioconnect. They are in NJ and are a dealer. the ProAC site list dealers but in the US distributor ‘is the sound org’. I just bought ProAcs - waiting for them to arrive but the service has been great so far. |
