Also want to add, they are bi-amp capable and I do plan later to go that route. I miss my old KT88 tube amp. Right now they are driven with a Parasound A51, it's a decent amp for home theater, but not as musical as tubes.
Silverline Audio La Folia II
I have a pair of Silverline Audio La Folia II speakers. One of the woofers blew, or the wire from the terminal to the cone broke off. The woofer is an Eton 800-8/37 and they are no longer made.
I don't know a whole lot about speaker building, but from what I have read on a dual woofer setup such as this it is important to use identical drivers.
There is a replacement Eton 8-212/C8/37 Hexacone Symphony II 8" Woofer available from Madisound. I am guessing this is the new replacement for the woofers I have. I don't know what the differences are and if I can change one or if I should change all four.
These speakers seems to be ideal for classical music and tube amps. I tend to listen more the classic rock, these woofers don't like the heavy bass of classic rock. Maybe I can move my 15" sub to the main room and crossover at 80-100 Hz. They are a very detailed woofer, but not deep bass.
Other thought was to change all four woofers to ScanSpeak Revelator 22W/8857T-00
From what I have read these will put out more bass. Specs here https://www.audioasylum.com/messages/speakers/283483/silverline-audio-la-folia-ii-the-real-facts say that the crossovers are 1800 and 3500 so it is a mid-bass. If I go to the scanspeak will I lose detail vs the Eton on voice.
What else do I need to consider?
