Replacing drivers in Sonus Faber speakers..anyone?

I am beginning to think that at some point I will have to replace the drivers in my SF GH's...primarily due to age. The drivers are fine at the moment, but like everything. they are aging. Has anyone had to replace their SF drivers? If so, what was the source of the replacement and how did that get accomplished?

Devin is on the right track, if needed.  Like a dumba$$ I got carried away playing with a new high power amp and blew a 6" driver in my vintage and rare Dynaudio Special One (limited edition).  Took a while but on request Dynaudio special manufactured a matched pair of original spec replacements for me for a remarkably reasonable price (vaguely recall $400??).

As a manufacturer we were able to have blown drivers replaced on Sonus Faber speakers at a slight discount for the driver parts.  They still were not very cheap.  As already mentioned, unless the surrounds are rotted or you blow a driver you are pretty much good to go.  Bill Legal at Miller Sound in PA can fix some blown drivers and he does an excellent job at replacing surrounds.  Sonus may have replacement drivers depending on how old your speakers are but they are not cheap.

 

Happy Listening.

I guess I would consider trying something new if my speakers wore out. Or the latest version of the same speaker.

Wow!  That is quite a story.  Put Dynaudio on your short list of companies that go above and beyond to earn your business.  (in great contrast to a recent post regarding throw away GolenEar powered speakers)
