SD Acoustics OBS speakers
I have just acquired a pair of these from a friend. The tweeters are
blown, so I need replacements. As the company is no longer in existence, can anyone kindly suggest an alternative source of replacement tweeters? -- Please use Reply-To address. |

What are the drivers? -- Roger. |

I used to live near Wilmslow in the 80s when WA were just a hi-fi shop. I am still using the speakers I bought there in '86. It is time for an upgrade, I think, hence the OBSes. I don't know what the original drivers were as my friend had replaced them with cheapo Maplin units. Ho hum. BTW, he ran a huge power amp, a Musical Fidelity unit, IIRC, to the OBSes originally. All his speakers are sans HF units due to being played too loudly while he played games. Yes, I have moaned copiously about this to him many times. Thanks so much for the prompt reply, Roger. A peaceful New Year to you. -- Please use Reply-To address. |

The buggers are following me around. They are now between Leicester and Coventry. 01455 286603. Only a little place. I think the Knutsford shop was the best. I don't know what the original drivers were as my friend had replaced them with cheapo Maplin units. Ho hum. What about the speakers? Are they boxless open baffles? -- Roger. |

I didn't know they had moved again. Thanks anyway, Roger. I don't know what the original drivers were as my friend had replaced them with cheapo Maplin units. Ho hum. What about the speakers? Are they boxless open baffles? Yes, the midrange/treble is open; the bass is closed box. These units sounded superb before their unfortunate "accident". I have always lusted after SD Acoustics SD1s - the OBSes are the closest thing I'll ever get to them, I think. Ever since I have known their orginal owner - 1992 - I have wanted his speakers. I am so thrilled he has bequeathed them to me. -- Please use Reply-To address. |
