The distortion will be audible with most music, but is not at all uncommon. With the volume advanced by 10dB above clipping, the average power is well above danger level. Just in case you didn't fully read the article I linked to you might want to note this bit considering you are having a party! One thing I am glad about is that they blew up today, not at the party!
I am mostly interested in where to get the replacements (and quicly) I am based in London (UK). I will contact KEF tomorrow and try to get more info. If you have any suggestion please let me know as soon as you can. Is there some sort of a fuse that could have blown? Is it common that both tweeters go at the same time? This made me think that the tweeter may not be right. The tweeter wires in my speakers are very thin (same diameter as wires found in telephone sockets! These thin wires are then soldered to the thick (proper wires that should be soldered to the tweeter). Secondly a friend of mine has KEF Reference 104/2 with original T33s and all cables are thick including the ones going to the tweeter. Guys please help.ĭo you know where I could get a replacement and what tweeter I should get?Īlso, I am suspicious that the tweeters installed by that engineer may not be suitable.įirstly because they are new – should not blow up. T33's are discontinued and the engineer I bought the speakers from said that KEF supplied him with a replacement tweeters, KEF NT25 SP1353 4Ohms.Įverything was fine until today.I don't know what to do. I bought them a month and a half ago from an ex Hi Fi engineer who bought them with damaged tweeters (original T33 tweeters were fluid cooled and it was a common problem that the fluid dried up especially when not in use for a long time). Now, let me tell you the story about the speakers. Suddenly the sound turned into some dull music and I knew straight away the tweeters blew up! Both of them at the same time! So my brother took the amp's remote control, put some music on and turned the volume very high, I don't think it was max, may be 80%. I have Roksan Kandy MKIII amplifier which according to its specification produces 185W at 4 Ohms. Today my brother in law visited me and he wanted to see how my lovely KEF Reference 104/2 sound. On Saturday 14th Nov 2009 I've organised a dance party for 70 people. Firstly, I am not an engineer but I will try to explain my problem as clearly as possible.Īnd let me tell you, it's a BIG problem.
