I added a new DAC to my rig a while ago, there was DC in the output, which went through my pre- power amp and onto the speakers. As a consequence of that defect, both the woofers on one channel are burnt out. The tweeter output seems to be functional/ okay based on simple listening tests.
from the spec on the Dali website: The Zensor 5 has 2 x 5.25" LF units, the crossover is 2,400 Hz after which the tweeter is to take over. Both 5.25 inch woofers in the ZENSOR 5 feature 4-layer voice coils for maximum control of the wood fibre cone.
I have not been successful in getting a response from Dali India (I did not interact with them directly but through a dealer)
I see 4 possibilities
1) Replacement drivers from Dali - looks bleak, from what the dealer told me no spares are imported
2) Replacement with alternate drivers - Would there be something that is a candidate, these wood fibred cones were nice to listen to
3) Get them rewound - Would that be possible ? Would really appreciate tips on where to get it done in India
4) Look for Z5 used in the EU/UK and get only the drivers down through some one kind enough to take the trouble to find, pickup, strip and then bring the speakers over : Wishful thinking dept
Would be grateful for any pointers on getting these speakers fixed singing again, esp on pts 2 and 3
