All Thought Id just give a final conclusion to this issue, as many of you had kindly offered help/assistance. I thought it may also be of interest to DIY'ers. Summary of Jez's comments: "All done. but one channel has a blown capacitor (literally blown in half! It's been that way for a long...

FM - Ill talk to Jez about the suggestion. Last check carried out today (the one that I can do!) - no movement of the midrange cone, in either speaker when giving the bass cone a good shove! Steve

"However, that’s a very involved job and it certainly won’t sound like a Linn speaker when you’ve finished… Probably a lot better!" LoL. Now come on S-Man, you can surely see from the foregoing that you are talking to an electronic numpty! Even I can see the irrecoverable damage I could cause...

James Yep, the klimax crossover is specifically configured for keltiks. "As the slopes look like they were meant to be like that and are all present and correct I have no reason to think they are actually faulty." Ill ask Jez if they can be tweaked - but Im getting the feeling that any...

I indicated upthread that the klimax crossovers were off to Jez, for a "service" He wondered if any of the speaker builders/designers on PF had any thoughts/comments on the following: "I have figures that would seem to explain the lack of power handling from the mid unit... Following figures...

David Yep, I do play certain genres very loud - bands as mentioned + some progressive trance. Im probably about 8m from the keltiks (sitting on Gaia 1's) (the keltiks, not me!) Toed in slightly - after much experimentation. The loudness bug was sorted for a while with a pair of active 15" Tannoy...

Guys, Thanks for all the feedback. Simplistically thought someone would suggest a "heavier duty" job - bung it in - and the games a good un!! Clearly not that easy, so I will try all suggestions including the different driver suggested by James. If Im still knocking seven bells out of it - Ill...

James As previous post, Im posting both off to Jez this morning. He says it is something he will check. So, at present I can do the test David suggested. I should have some time on Tuesday to have a fiddle!

That makes sense - Ill certainly give that a try.

David, again cant add much Im afraid, other than reference previous posts re. the WAM discussion to which "sunbeamgls" (Im fairly sure) contributed the technical info. re crossover points. Ive also passed the time where I can justify/afford to make significant changes/investment in Hi Fi. I...

Hi, the klimax crossovers(c.1999 vintage) are in fact being sent to Jez Arkless (former member of PF) this week for a service, in particular the power supply (SMPS?) This has been planned for sometime, and is not as a result of this issue. The bass units dont seem to be having the same...

S-man, thanks for input. Apologies, as above, my lack of knowledge in this area unfortunately means I can make no sensible comment. Steve

Stuart, yep I changed to the seas unit about 3/4 years ago - and noticeably a better sound at the time. Indeed, if it wasnt for the present slightly annoying issue, Id be more than happy to do nothing! As James noted above the ER15 isnt overly costly so in the next few weeks Ill get round to...

James, Thanks again. Points noted - Ill go have a look for the ER15. Steve

Thanks James. Again, your comments reminded me of something I read on the Lejonklou forum (now they really are "Linnies"!!) someone suggested that the M15 requires to have a 2dB attenuator fitted? Now given my general ignorance/"wallieness" it didnt dawn on me that 2dB may be significant? The...
