Replacing tweeter in Harbeth SHL5 Plus


Since I’m not using my Harbeth SHL5 plus speakers all that much I thought I’d put them up for sale. When I started to pack them I noticed that my son must have poked a finger into one of the tweeters. It is a very small dent and I don’t hear any degradation in sound. But I still went ahead and ordered a new tweeter from a Harbeth dealer. When trying to replace it, the connection with the exiting tweeter is pretty tight and won’t come off easily. I don’t want to wrestle with it too much and make matters worse. Before I try other things im trying to figure out if the connecting wires are typically soldered together or can I wiggle and disconnect them. 
 

if anyone has replaced a tweeter on SHL5+ or something similar, please let me know. Much appreciated.

Get in touch with Harbeth  directly. I have done that in the past and they are very helpful!

arafiq - you're welcome. Only ever move the connector side to side laterally - never twist it. At least you are replacing the tweeter so it's a good opportunity to practice! Best of luck.

use small diameter long needle nose pliers and pry then away from the tweeter connector.  grip the connector from the side and gently leverage the edge of the tweeter flange like a fulcrum.
