@phusis it makes some sense to treat the rubber surrounds with a silicone oil, which is why I used to do it with my old Hales speakers that utilized Dynaudio mid drivers. I then did the same thing with a pair of Kef’s that I owned briefly, and the results were not good. I think it might be a solution with the GH drivers, but I am not inclined to risk it since the drivers appear to be fine…so far.
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?

If you're serious about the need to replace the drivers I'd be making contacts and buying replacements now. Every day that goes by it's less likely you'll find replacements of older, custom made drivers if they exist at all. Companies and distributors come an go or are sold all the time. One thing that happens when a business gets sold before or after a sale is old inventory is disposed of. Shelves full of NOS drivers that have little turnover are of little use to new owners that are concerned about making money on inventory that turns over on a regular basis.
The best chance you'll ever have to locate replacements is today. |
@incorrigable You make a very good point. Luckily, the drivers appear to be very sturdily mounted in the cabinets. So, if and when i replace the drivers, the issue should not be a problem. Brings up another question, is there anyone on this forum who has actually replaced their divers in a SF product? |
