This unit may be a suitable replacement. Could be worth talking to the people at Wilmslow Audio? WA HB2 Loudspeaker. There aren't many drivers of that type around now. Probably the 'best' option would be to get a semi-custom pair of drivers built by Audiotechnology, but that comes with a big price tag. Not 'drop-in' though; you'll need to redesign the crossover.

Basically, whole new XO, aka a whole new speaker. If you can get the woofers rebuilt properly, then I'd be more inclined to do that.

It's a classic speaker, and other than restoring, I usually tend to think they're better off left that way. Last edited by Scottmoose; 5th August at PM. Originally Posted by coylum.

Most of the circuit is fairly standard for the time, and KEF used something like it in the 8" bextrene Cadenza: I did run a sim of the circuit, although I can't remember if I used 0.

Looks like the bass circuit is mostly bafflestep and 3rd order rolloff. So my guess is almost any well behaved polycone should do the right things.

Peter Comeau might add something. Thanks, Steve. You're probably right. I am always dubious about switching drivers, however, as cone mass, voice coil winding, spider, basket material, and surround can affect what, on spec appears to be a "good as original" replacement.

Any thoughts? I recall a time correction filter design for x-overs, within. I had a high-end car stereo company in the late '70s and early '80s. We were nuts but attempted to build quality audio systems way back when, including from-scratch x-overs and enclosures. I recall my designer using this filter to try and time the rear and front drivers for the car driver's head position.

It was not beyond the pale for us to install a Nagra IV-S as the source. It was that or cassette back then, yes? When our chosen driver was not in stock we would sometimes change the driver but always had to fiddle with the x-over as I recall. I learned a lot back in those days. Sadly, at 67 I've forgotten a lot, too; in fact, I forget more every day than I'll ever learn again You are probably thinking of a "ladder network" for tweeter time delay.

Zaph used it in the ZD5 tweeter circuit. We used to call them Group Delay Equalizers when I did telecoms. He'll send you the circuit if you email him. The Peerless is a well liked and bassy polycone. We see people agonising over replacement drivers and spending far too much on eBay, but really I don't think it's hard to try a well-behaved substitute.

HEYBROOK: HB2 + HB3

The average rating for this product is 4. Reviewers are impressed by the reliability and price. User Reviews. Purchased new in with a Linn Sondek. Despite the attentions of a small boy on the tweeters and the removal of the foam on the rear ports which would have disintegrated anyway , they still sound great. I got new foam grilles from the factory in I was initially a little disappointed with the bass to be expected, perhaps, in a bookshelf. It sounded empty or hollow.

If you can find a pair, a pair of Ensemble PA-1 Reference speakers are wonderful things, by far the best small stand mount speakers I have found. Work at low and high volumes, something not a lot of small speakers do. Cheers I may take you up on a demo. I use them between 0. You can get closer, but the stands I use with them stop you doing much closer. So long as you are 10cm away from the back wall, should be OK, they are very well damped.

Although potentially very good speakers I have had little use for them other than for testing. Recently I decided to check them out thoroughly and to my dismay found that the high frequency response on one was missing. Checked the tweeter and it was open circuit - probably either burnt out or a broken coil winding. It turned out to be a broken coil winding.

Few people knew the speaker market better. Stuart was living with a pair of Celestion Ditton 15s, which he thought were good but not outstanding, and was looking for something better. From this Heybrook was born in , named after the scenic bay in Plymouth where the company was situated. It was the brand name of Mecom Acoustics the name being a compound of Mee and Comeau and Peter began designing the HB2, which was launched in the following year to an unsuspecting world.
