Wharfedale Di9.5 tweeters no sound

[ravin]

Hi friends,

My Wharfedale Di9.5 soft dome tweeters no longer produce any sound. The speakers are connected to my Onkyo TX-NR609 receiver.

Recently, while watching a movie with the volume knob set at -10db, I paused my media player to go to the restroom. Once back, there was foul smell of burnt cables, etc all over the room. I powered off my receiver, media player, tv, etc. and disconnected the power cables from the wall socket. The smell was still there.

I reconnected the cables and continued with the movie. But this time, I realized that my speakers were sounding a big muddy, without even thinking that the soft domes on both sides were now completely cooked. I found out the problem only after playing 2ch audio from the receiver.

Now the question is, is it possible to repair these soft dome tweeters (DIY). I had already replaced them with new ones some time back and they cost me a fortune (approx. Rs. 6400 per pair). Is it possible that the resistors in the crossover network also burnt?

Can somebody recommend online shops (ebay, etc.) where I can get replacement parts for wharfedale speakers. These speakers are made in Shenzhen, China.

Thanks in advance.

Pls go to nearby dealers for wharf and they will replace the same. Don't try to do yourself as it may cause further damage if the issues are with crossover/avr

Hi Pran,

Thanks for your reply. I had already replaced the soft dome tweeters on the Di9.5 twice from the local dealer.

Considering that I have had the speakers for over 3 years and they play musically well with my NAD C356BEE, I will probably swap he soft domes with my Di9.4 which I have kept as surrounds.

But I still have to repair the soft domes so that they can be fitted to the DI9.4 and sold.
