Change!

Now #Chaser is eating & the rest of the flock have taken up shady positions under the tree.

The #wind is now howling.

I won’t be surprised if they all move out of the wind & take up sheltered positions along the fence line somewhere.

My #domes over the #peas & #ChileanGuava are rocking violently. So far the #groundcontrol #tentpegs are holding them down. 🤞

With a more critical ear and time to do so, the #tweeters on my 35+ year old #IAS #Ashurst studio loudspeakers are under investigation for low or no output.

The #domes are both perished-looking, I'm not sure whether to replace the whole drivers or attempt surface #reconditioning

I have to pre-boost the treble if I'm to use them like this. Headphones sound much crisper by comparison.

Decaying or dirty tweeters?

Hi all, I've just acquired a set of Krix Equinox Mk 1 for use as desktop speakers. As they are the original model, they are quite old. I'm not sure if the tweeters are dirty and need a bit of a clean, or this is a fabric coating of some sort that has decayed? Any ideas? If it's just dirt and dust...
