I had a pair of these and was I glad to get rid of them! I know Mr. Goetz lived in the Atlanta area about 20 years ago because I bought mine from him. I've seen a few references to him since then but nothing in the last five years or so. As I recall the midrange (Audax?) had a sticky coating on it from the factory. I think it may have been a resonance damping material. I had information on the drivers at one time, but I probably threw it out. I will take a look and get back with you if I find anything.
help w/ an old pair of Goetz speakers
I've got a pair of Goetz speakers that I bought used about 15-16 years ago, that I now use in a second system. The problem I'm having is that the mid-range drivers have started to deteriorate (getting sticky, and chunks of the baffle of one have come off on the grill). These were never very common, and it appears that Goetz has ceased to exist (I've looked through endless listings that all have the same contact info., but these appear to all be old and no longer active). I don't know if there were different models, as the only markings beside the brand badge are the pairs serial number- 046). It has an 8" woofer & a 4" mid-range driver, and a front port, among other details.
Does anyone have any experience with these, have suggestions on replacement mid-range drivers? I've gotten the woofers re-coned, but the stickiness of the mid-range cone material suggest they are beyond this. I also live in an area (NE Iowa) where finding someone with any expertise in speaker repair has so far been a futile exercise.
Thanks in advance for any help.
