Yung good speaker bro flush yung cone sa tweeter assembly and no audible distortion. Kahit siguro open ko the good speaker di ko rin makikita the voice coil kasi nasa ilalim sya unless I totally disassemble.

Try email KEF with pics of the unit, they may be kind enough to send driver replacement ... if they care their products owners... sakali lang....

They make claim failure is from abuse or that they don't honor warranty outside the country of sale, but worth a try.

If I may sir, nacompare mo na ba sa working or good na driver yung may sira. Dapat bago binaklas ay compare na muna sa good para alam kung ano dapat ibalik or ayusing sira, baka kasi sa physical na look palang eh makita na ang dapat iadjust or gawin. Yun ay kung ok lang sayo na buksan din yung good speaker. Suggestion lang po, please proceed at your own risk.
Sa akin NOT OK to open the good one.

Yun din. Pwede nag melt adhesive. Gusto mo tingnan mark?
Can give it a shot. Kung adhesive failure lang kaya ko restore yan. If it will need rewinding ako na magparewind.

Opinion sa Audiokarma nag bottom out. Change driver na daw. Ouch.
Tamad mag-repair mga kano. O sobrang mahal repair labor kaya sulit sa kanila replace na lang.
Pero kung mali analysis natin order ka na nga ng replacement. :D :D :D

Sana macompare lang itong pic na to sa working driver



ito lang observe ko I don't know if its actual but worth checking based dyan sa picrure.

1. Yung spider ba naka angat, usually alam ko flat or lubog konti yan.
2. kita na ba yung coil ng mid/woofer

Anyway that's just me and how I will do this if its mine.

Goodluck and sana ma post din yung solution, kaabang abang kasi  :)

There. No choice. Notice that the color of the cone becomes lighter after some time. New one is darker.

Solved! Ung CJ o ung Rogue mo ang mas bagay dyan sa LS50. Bitin yan sa 3020.

yes bro. more on rock and classical ako although I listen to all sorts of music. gamit ko now is the Musical Fidelity M6si. busog na busog the ls50. sa NAD D3020 kaya naman wag lang masyado malakas because the amp will clip, which is what happened to me. i suggest you use the most powerful amp that you can afford since it will be senseless to listen to rock music at low levels.

kailangan nga ng malakas na amp. nong vintage amp na 100 watts gamit ko ok naman sya. pero pag mas mababang wattage manipis na

nasubukan mong mag tube sa rock music? anong amp ang kinaya ?  mukhang mahal yang m6si, magkano yang ganyan?

Mukhang hindi gumana yung "soft clipping" speaker protection circuit nung D3020.

Ok guys. Grabe. My mistake and apologies to the NAD D3020. Nahanap ko the photo before I got the NAD. Mukang nung nakuha ko sya hindi na flush the other cone sa waveguide. Hay. My fault. Lesson learned guys, huwag masyado excited. Examine the item very carefully and ask all sorts of questions. I'm sure the seller was in good faith and also did not know of the defect. This is a community after all and we are not here to swindle each other. Apologies to the seller too for not calling it to his attention immediately. Too late now. Bought the item more than a year ago.
