In the Thread: Yamaha ns1000m speaker problem
Post Subject: YamahaPosted by Bill on: 7/7/2023
It wasn't the caps. The 12 inch drivers were both frozen solid after being stored in a dry basement for 30 years. Looks like the coils somehow fused to the magnets.Ordered a used pair from Japan for $300 with shipping and they arrived after 20 days in great shape looking and sounding almost new. Will be using them as my side speakers in a surround system with my Self built Edgar horns.Surprisingly they sound very good compared to what I remember from the early 80's when I got on the high end band wagon. May be because I am using them with a rebuilt Yamaha b3 amplifier which they were originally tested with in Japan back in the 70's.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
