B&W DM2A refurb's

[Emmett123]

Ah there is a little red mark on them. To denote the positive or in side?

[spendorman]

Correct, just connect the new ones as the old ones.

Be careful not to have the soldering iron on the terminals too long.

I am another one in the row who got these speakers recently, running them about 3 days now and opposite experience so far, they seem to sound a bit bright for my taste, and thin unless pushed into higher volumes.
Also I can not hear super tweeters.. will check them soon.

@emmett123
How the speakers sound now after fitting new super tweeters?
Is dullness gone?

I just wonder why they showed both your old ones about 3ohm each, as I would suspect no continuity at all when faulty. Am I missing something? Maybe someone could clarify it. Thank you

Shorted turns on the voice coil windings. Not unusual.

A bit bright, possibly just revealing what's there in the signal. As a first check on the supertweeters, measure resistance with a meter, should get around 23 Ohms.

I'm waiting for them to arrive. In the meantime the cabinets are getting rubbed down. First coat of Danish oil applied about half hour ag.

Pics!

[Emmett123]

patchy as it dries in, will rub them down with wire wool in the morning and apply another coat.

Thanks for the pics. Cabinets don't look too bad. I didn't get the patchy effect when I did my DM2's with teak oil.
