The tweeter wires in my speakers are very thin same diameter as wires found in telephone sockets! These thin wires are then soldered to the thick proper wires that should be soldered to the tweeter. Do you know where I could get a replacement and what tweeter I should get?Īlso, I am suspicious that the tweeters installed by that engineer may not be suitable. Everything was fine until today I don't know what to do. I bought them a month and a half ago from an ex Hi Fi engineer who bought them with damaged tweeters original T33 tweeters were fluid cooled and it was a common problem that the fluid dried up especially when not in use for a long time. Now, let me tell you the story about the speakers. Suddenly the sound turned into some dull music and I knew straight away the tweeters blew up! On Saturday 14th Nov I've organised a dance party for 70 people. And let me tell you, it's a BIG problem I am absolutely devastated.

Ferrofluid doesn't evaporate or "clog up". I'm going to call Paradigm service in Canada to see if they can refer me to someone locally. I don't believe Paradigm is so obscure or difficult to be able to be serviced by a knowledgeable tech.

Maybe he just could have said he doesn't know how to do it and they don't do Paradigm anyway. They list about 80 brands they service, Paradigm NOT included, but still I don't want warranty service, that's way out of date anyway. I called High Tech, asked for a tech service person Even the receptionist was very cold toward me. Just called an authorized Paradigm dealer in Nashville, the tech there referred me to High Tech Service just up the road as HiFi Buys dealer doesn't do this. I'm a bit reluctant to do it myself but am trying to find a tech service that can. But with a bit of elbow grease, the tweeters can be restored to "like new" performance. Most people throw away their speakers at this point and buy new ones. The solid prevents the tweeter from working at all. The muck reduces amplitude of the tweeter making the speaker sound "dull" or "muffled". This happens because the liquid in the ferrofluid has evaporated, leaving a muck or solid in its place. Now, inmany of those tweeters sound dull, or have quit working altogether. I'd like to do this for 'preventive' maintenance. I found an online description of how to do it, not specifically MY speakers but Paradigm indeed. Apparently this stuff may dry up or become mucky over time and needs to be replaced. I have a pair of 11 year old Paradigm Focus V4 bookshelf speakers that utilize ferro liquid in the tweeters.
