OF COURSE YOU MAY. EVERY ONE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOWER COST ALTERNATIVE TO REPLACING SPEAKERS. I WAS UNSURE TO BEGIN WITH, BUT A FRIEND OF TOLD ME OF HIS EXPERIENCE WITH RECONING HIS SPEAKERS AND THAT HELPED ME MAKE UP MY MIND TO TRY IT.

Wanted you to know that I got my speakers back today.  And, boy, do they sound GOOD!

Thanks for your expert job.

When the foam around my speaker cones deteriorated, a man who installs sound systems, including churches, etc., recommended The Speaker Exchange.  He said they do the best work in the country.  My speakers came back to me beautifully reworked and packaged as if done by the manufacturer.  The price is fair and telephone communication is a pleasure.  They also sell speaker equipment, parts and accessories.

The website is worth a visit.Tel: 813-237-4800    Web: http://ReckoningSpeakers.com/

See, I have an ulterior motive.  I want y’all to still be in business when I need my speaks reworked, .

Thanks Cathy,

My thanks – I just re-foamed my 12 Inch Cerwin Vega D5’s with your foam kit and they sound fabulous!  Got them for $20 at the swap meet and did the re-foam with your foam… I am astounded how good they sound…

My request – I had to cut off the dust cap on one of my woofers to adjust the voice coil – it was rubbing just a touch on one speaker.  I need 1 dustcap for the voice coil on the 12 inch woofer.  Do you sell them in qty of 1?  If so, how much?  I will give you my credit card again …

My Offer J – I would be happy to leave a testimonial if there is any way to do that

Thx again for helping me bring these back from the dead.  Simple and fun project .  They are excellent speakers and will bring me many years of listening pleasure.

“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cathy and the Crew at Speaker Exchange. They have been takeing care of all of my needs for some 15 yrs.. As an installer for some of the major Clubs & Churches of the Bay Aera the Crew at Speaker Exchange always helped meet all my dead lines. Even when I have had some rear Speakers that were no longer in production, they made sure that all my repairs would stand up to night after night of heavey Club use. I have move from Tampa Fl. and now live in Dallas TX. and I still depend on the Crew that knows how to serve me so that my end users would be just as happy as the first Installation… Cathy,Mike and the magic Man Gene Thank You for all you’ve done for me..”

Just received my tweeters. Incredible service.  Other than the pain of paying more for the tweeters than I did for the

speakers, I am thrilled.  Once again they sound great.  I will let my friends know about you, I will be back if and when I need you.

Thanks so much.

My wife and I are very satisfied with the repair work and would like to thank you and all of your team for the great work and professionalism. The speaker was tested and sounded very nice from the beginning. I know it will match its sister 100% after the break-in period!
You can make sure that Speaker Exchange will be kept on my references for recommendations and future needs.

Hi Cathy,
I want to thank you again for the fine products you have sent me recently and the fast and adequate shipping. Now it went very quick and no problems with the customs here in the Netherlands.I have applied the Cerwin Vega surround kits and it was a joy to work with, the result was very good, the owner is enjoying his updated bass drivers and is happy.

A quick email to say thanks, the tweeter arrived yesterday! That was brilliantly fast. I am very impressed with the product, the speedy service, the quality of the packaging, and the whole experience! Especially when you consider

Have a great day.

I wanted to say thank you for the awesome product and purchase experience with your company, it was fast from the first message confirming my order to the arrival of my product, great info every step of the way and the speaker is great too, my SM-150 are 20 years old I use them in our out building as part of an entertainment center and didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg to upgrade to something new because the still sound great, and with the new woofer I believe it may be as good if not better than when they where brand new. I will be purchasing another soon to repair my second cabinet, thank you again for a great product and buying experience and look forward to doing business with you again.

Hi Cathy,
Just wanted to let you know, I jumped through a few hoops with Fedex on the delivery, finally picked up my OHM F’s this AM. Couldn’t wait to get home from work to give them a try.
I am listening to them now, and I couldn’t be happier. They arrived unscathed, although the boxes were a little shaky again. But all is well, both drivers look and sound perfect.
Please consider me one happy camper. I will post a positive note on Audiokarma, and if you ever need a reference on these, don’t hesitate to use me. Also, please pass along my sincere thanks to the technician who did the work. I feel like I’ve got a member of the family back! Thanks again,

Thanks so much for your service to transform my old 15 inch EON’s and sub EON’s which have been played 6,000 hrs plus, back to better than new! Sweet highs! Kicking mids! and thumping lows!!
Keep up the great work! It’s better to get your speakers and subs tweaked at Speaker Exchange rather than buying new stuff!

Hallo Cathy;

I received the replacement re-cone kit this morning,in perfect condition this time .I just want to say i am very impressed with the way you and your company handled the situation. I have 8 of those speakers myself,and many of my friends use the same speaker system as well. We use them to play bar gigs. So no doubt we will need more kits along the way. I will let them know about The Speaker Exchange.
I want to explain why I was impressed. Before I ever knew about Speaker Exchange I tried to buy the re-cone from the RCF agent in England. it is not possible to go online and buy the part with my credit card there like I could with your company. so I made contact by e/mail, waited for a reply but it never came, then I phoned them, they said they would call me back, again no reply for a second time. after about seven days I phoned again, they said they would sort it out this time and get back to me, again no reply for a third time. so I e/mailed RCF in Italy where the part is made I believe, to see if I could buy it from there. they were very helpful but said I would have to buy it from the English agent. they sent me on the part number to give to the English agent. so back on the phone to England with the part number, they said they would call me back. I never heard from them again. four times I contacted them, not once did they reply.
So now I think you will understand why I was so impressed with Speaker Exchange.

The Speaker Exchange was 1st class, from the moment I made the purchase you kept me informed of what was happening, and when the part arrived damaged, even though it was not your fault you did not rest until you had a replacement delivered to me in perfect condition.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for all your help;

Thank you, thank you!!! I just received my repaired Triangle Celius woofer, and re-installed it. Sounds great!! I love music and it’s nice to have my system running again.
The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. The repaired woofer looks and sounds just like it’s undamaged mate (2 woofers per box). My compliments to the tech that did the work. I appreciate you taking the time to research options on my speaker, and to get the job done right. You and Speaker Exchange are awesome!!

Speakers arrived at noon today. Took about an hour to install all four. Sound is amazing! Three of the four original speakers were rotting. I just can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying my new woofers. The clarity is amazing. I’m driving them with an old Akai 4-channel receiver with a ton of power.

Cathy,
When I called to discuss what was found / what needed doing; the
person I spoke to was very knowledgeable and also was familiar with this
particular speaker system. I was glad that the problem was overall a
relatively easy one to fix, compared to what I had feared. The person
also was highly confident about being able to fix it completely and quickly.
My repaired speaker arrived yesterday; one day earlier than
expected . . . seemingly Fedex had a tailwind . . .
I looked it over carefully; had I not known that it had been torn
apart I would have never guessed it from looking at it. It all looked
to be well-done careful work. I’ve since gotten it re-installed into
the cabinet and given it a listen. It’s working perfectly, and it is so
nice to once again hear some good music through them.
I’m glad I found your company; and while I hope I never again need
any of my speakers repaired again; if I do I will have no hesitation in
sending them to you to get done. I will also feel very confident to
refer anyone else I know that needs this kind of work done to your company.
Regards;

I see my woofer is on its way back and you honored your warranty and didn’t give me any problems! The one I just got back looks (and most importantly) sounds great! You offer a great service that more people should know about! In fact, I’m going to put an ad on craigslist offering to buy any blown woofers! Maybe I will find 2 more to match mine!
Thank you for all you great and friendly service!

I received your replacement EMIT-R tweeters yesterday afternoon and installed them right away (Infinity Kappa 5.1 series II ). The wife and I stayed up way to late listening to the same music as we did when we where dating, and the speakers were new. Never thought replacement speakers could be an aphrodisiac, works for me/us. The associate on the phone, Mike was great. He knows his speakers. I spent over three hours on the internet doing research, Mike answered it all in about three minutes. You can bet I’ll recommend you guys to my friends. thank you,

Hello Cathy.
I recieved the tweeters (Infinity Emit R Kappa 902-5754) today. everything is fine.. and they are working. Nice doing business with you. Ill contact you again, when I need something. I didnt had the original tweeters when I bought these speakers. I bought them second hand. The original tweeters was removed. there was some “Monacor” ribbon tweeters instead. Not Good.. sounded terrible. But these original tweeters: Holy St… Sound improvement overall.

Dear Speaker Exchange,
I ordered a foam repair kit over the phone with you just two days ago. The assistance in choosing the right size and shape of foam was unmatched and the items arrived in lightning fast time. I’m so impressed with the repair kit (glue, instructions, foam, dust caps, and even tape) that I’ll be making you my first stop for all my speaker needs in the future and recommending you to all my friends. Thanks so much!

Dear Cathy,
Yes, everything arrived in perfect shape. The package was as good as the first time. Very impressive IMHO.
I was planning to give you some feedback, but didn’t want to take up your time. Anyway, here goes:
Both reconing operations went really well, I was impressed with the quality of the stuff. I thought that my
speakers would need some time to sound really good again since the suspension became a lot stiffer but no,
they sounded awesome right away. It was great fun to do the work itself. A really good feeling listening to them
knowing I’ve done it myself!
Now my daughter has bought a couple of HED 504R and I have bought a pair of AT-10?s, both in need of new
foam. So don’t be surprised if my name show up in your ordering system again soon!
Have a nice day!

Hi Cathy!
I just wanted to send a quick email to remind you what good work you all do. I
had to take my Allison Fours into a local shop for modifications and the
gentleman who did the work commented on what a good job you guys did reconing
and refoaming the woofers. Coincidentally, my boss who is from the Clearwater
area know the original owner of the company that you guys were born from.
I had a conversation with a friend last weekend who had asked where to send
some woofers he needed refoamed. I, of course, recommended you guys.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Best,
Jason Atlanta , GA

Cathy,
I was able to pick up the speakers from the post office and installed them today. My old boys are singing again, the speakers have gone back to as they were brand new. I must thank you for several things, firstly for good advice regarding the replacement models for my speakers which are more than 15 years old, secondly, for always replying to my email promptly, thirdly, for offering to send me the second set of tweeters at a discount when I damaged my first set and finally for reminding me that USPS is ready to deliver the shipment. I should also perhaps thank you for seeing me through the Icelandic volcano related shipping delays the first time. Well, everything has worked out very well and you have a very happy customer. Thank you and best wishes,

To Cathy and Gene. Just plugged them (Tannoy Devons) in to my bedroom stereo. My old speakers are modern Mirage towers. Wow it like my ears popped open after a shower. I can sell them for more, but I’d rather sell my blood before the Tannoy. Thanks for a good experience.Take a bow and rejoice.

Cathy,
I purchased a replacement speaker a few months back and I have misplaced the paperwork. I need to order another one which I should have done to begin with – it is an 8 inch 8 ohm cone speaker – can you check your records to see what I originally ordered -….
thanks for the follow up. I have already placed the order. The first speaker has been great and I had never dealt with the Speaker Exchange so I wasn’t sure what I would be getting so I originally ordered only the one. It has been a great replacement for the original and I noticed that the other speaker had deteriorated worse than the first. I love the service and quick response from your company.

Hi Cathy,
My experience with the Speaker Exchange has been outstanding, over and over and over. I have four pairs of vintage McIntosh speakers, all have had the woofers and midranges reconed by the Speaker Exchange; 12 drivers total. I thought of buying new and even auditioned some new Mac speakers in my home. After several hours of side-by-side listening the new ($8K) speakers went back to the dealer. The 30-year-old speakers sound that good–after some attention from the Speaker Exchange! I have and will continue to recommend the Speaker Exchange to others.
That’s a true story about the speakers, when I told them at (dealer’s name) what I already had they weren’t surprised that there wasn’t an $8000 improvement with the new ones, much as they would have liked to make the sale.
–Steve

When the woofer surrounds of my stacked Cello Amati speakers disintegrated, Cathy at Speakerex saved this classic system by finding identical, newly manufactured AR speakers to replace the original drivers. This took some research and a lot of her time, but she persevered. Once ordered, the speakers were quickly shipped and installed cleanly. Even better–the new speakers revived the original snap and three dimensionality of the Amatis, producing smooth, deep, tight bass smoothly integrated with the midrange and tweeters. I now realize what I had been missing as the old speakers deteriorated. Thank you Cathy for saving the day, for your knowledge and wisdom, and for taking the time and interest to help solve this problem.

Epicure TEN speaker — Replaced foam rings — parts/package arrived in excellent condition — exactly what I needed. Repair parts excellent. A solid 10 experience with Speaker Exchange… especially with Cathy. Definitely recommend to others.
Thanks for the great service.
Paul T.

Cathy,
My experience with SPEX was great. I would give it a 10. Everything arrived in good shape and is functioning perfectly. Much cheaper than buying a new one in my case. The speaker was a Velodyne woofer which I inherited when I bought my house four years ago. It had gone crazy with static. You diagnosed it promptly and sent it back to the manufacturer in this case and all has gone well from what I can tell. I would definitely recommend you to a friend.
Thanks Wayne T.

Hi, I had ordered 4 JBL 2408 high frequency diaphragms. There was only one in stock, so they sent me the one they had, and ordered the other 3 for me. They all arrived in great shape, and work great!! The sales staff was very flexible in accommodating me. We needed to change the order couple of times, but they got it right!! I have already recommended others to deal with The Speaker Exchange. You guys (and gals) are a class act!! I would give you rating of 10!! Thanks for everything, and I look forward to doing business again!
Jason P.

Great service, couldn’t be happier. Speakers sound like new We have sent a friend your way and they feel the same. Thanks!

Cathy,
I had sent my woofers to you to be repaired. The package with my speakers arrived in good shape. I am totally satisfied with the service on my Kenwood JL940W speakers. The speakers sound just like they did when I purchased them 25 years ago. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the service a 10 and I will certainly recommend you to all of my friends.
Thank you again for the excellent service.

Hi Cathy
I had asked for repair on a mid-range driver for a JBL S312BE speaker system. You said ‘how about a new one”’, and the price was right.
The driver was well packed and arrived promptly. As promised, it was an exact replacement. I am very satisfied. You rate a ten for your fast and friendly customer service. I would recommend you and will call again if the need arises. Your knowledge of this business is what makes The Speaker Exchange a success.
Sincerely,
Ken K.

I would rate my experience a 10. Product was just as described and arrived quickly. Communication with you was excellent. I would definitely do business the The Speaker Exchange again. Thanks for your help in getting my the speakers so quickly… Mike

My invoice #169241, dated 8-19-09, consisted of a selenium D220TI Driver and an Eminence 2 way 3.5KHZ XOVER. The package and product arrived in good condition and timely. The items allowed me to install them in my bass amplifier to extend its range. Everything is working well, high quality items. I would rate my experience with Speaker Exchange a 10.

Cathy,
I would most definitely recommend the Speaker Exchange for any speaker repairs/replacements. First we had to identify which speaker I needed through careful measuring and photographs. Then a suitable replacement was recommended. Once I shipped the speaker to you, you decided to recone it. Long term, the reconing did not solve the problem. After detailed discussions with your tech dept. a replacement was ordered and the previous reconing charge was applied to the new speaker. My cabinet is now working fine. I would use the Speaker Exchange in the future for sure and recommend you all my musician friends…
Packing was great and the speaker arrived in perfect condition.

Cathy, on a one to ten rating, ten being the highest, you and your staff, have a very satified customer. After replacing my cone and foam on my 25 year old Advents, you have brought then back to life. They sound great, and was a excellent value also, quick turn around time, when talking to you or your staff, very helpfull, and very proffessional. Again thank you very much.

Thanks Cathy, Randall and everyone. Great service. Great repair. Sounds good as new!
Much appreciated.

Cathy: I figured that it wouldn’t matter which terminals I used as long as they were the same on both speakers, so I wouldn’t have phase cancellation. I was so eager and impatient to install the woofers you repaired that I did it before I heard from you. I am completely blown away. These 35 year-old Electro-Voice Sentry V studio monitors sound as good as new, maybe even better. I thought I was faced with buying new speakers. I dreaded the thought, because new speakers that can match the Sentry V in frequency response, transparency, and power handling would cost me in the thousands of dollars each. Because of your expertise and knowledge, your top-drawer craftsmanship, and your patient advice, I now have legacy-grade speakers that perform at least as well as new, and it cost me nearly nothing compared to replacing them. I could not possibly be more pleased. Rarely have I been so impressed and satisfied with service such as yours. You truly rock; I have my music back. Thank you so much!

i Cathy,
We picked up our speakers from the post office today and installed them in their cabinets. It was a pleasant surprise to see that the parcel was from the Speaker Exchange because I had been expecting something else. I was giddy with anticipation.
They sound wonderful! It’s so nice to have a full mellow sound again. I forgotten how nice music could sound. It was so great to be able to have the woofers repaired. We’d looked around at purchasing new loud speakers and weren’t thrilled with what we were hearing and the cost was a bit breathe taking.
I’m so glad that I found your service and that you were able to help me out.
Sincerely,

I have a very expensive set of Alon 2 speakers and the manufacturer is out of business. My woofer was ripped. I called several stereo stores that said they would charge me $200 to “rebuild” the speaker etc. Then I found speakerex online. They seemed to have vast experience with this so I called. They were helpful and even better, only charged me $50 for the same job, and only took 2 weeks round trip. I’m now enjoying music the way I want to hear it.
Andy L.

Cathy,
You will be pleased to know that they sound FANTASTIC! I put on my “ultimate test” CD tonight, the Mahler Symphony No. 8 in SACD surround, and let it rip. That rock solid, focused KEF low bass was right there, shaking the house foundations. Not a trace of distortion or any other problems I could hear. I am very happy with your work — please pass on my compliments to your staff.

Hi Cathy,
I just completed my re-foam project and wanted to let you know it’s the best $25.70 I ever spent. I successfully reformed the woofers of my Thiel 03a’s which I’ve owned since 1982. Even though these haven’t been my main speakers for more than 10 years, it was great fun bringing them back to life. I believe they sound as good as the day I first brought them home. Now all that’s left is to put new grill cloth on them, but that can wait.
Thanks again.
Alex G.

I received my refoam and dustcap kit — and installed them yesterday, My first time, awesome product. Very easy, 1 hour for two speakers. Strip to rebuild. Wow! I’ve paid pros to do this before. I wish I had that money back. I was amazed how easy it was and how good the Nova speakers looked — and sounded.
I bought this pair of Nova 4 speakers solely for this refoaming experiment on my holiday break — and was prepared for the worst. Even to throw them away if needed. With freshly refinished and oiled cabinets these are real keepers. They look and sound fantastic….. thanks speaker exchange!.
My only tips — measure carefully for the parts and get an exacto knife, and a new #11 blade for each speaker.
Thanks very much.
Mark D.

Hi Cathy,
I got the kit and installed the new foam, waited for it to dry. Hooked it up in my car and it works just like it was new. My JL Audio 15W6 is back and hits as hard as it ever did! Amazing that a $370.00 Woofer is saved by a $25.00 kit. If you are good with your hands you can do this by yourself easy! This kit saved me hundred’s of dollars that I would have spent on new speakers. Thanks so much and I am definitely going to buy from www.refoamkits.comagain!
Thank you!!!
Tony

Hi Cathy and staff,
I wanted to complement you and your entire staff on having the highest degree of professionalism, knowledge and on being very customer friendly, I had an immediate sense of audiophile comradery when speaking to Mike the first time I called about my McIntosh XR16s 12? woofers. Mike knows his driver components, his knowledge of cone material, in addition to everything else he said convinced me I called the right people.
The workmanship that I could see could not have been exceeded, the performance is superb, I could not be more pleased with my entire experience. My desire to have my Mc woofers as good as new or better was matched by your desire to rebuild them to be such. My classic Mcs sound wonderful.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Mike B.

Cathy;
Speaker Exchange has been excellent since the first day I stepped through the door. Your staff is intelligent, friendly and above all honest. I really just wanted these speakers fixed, and fixed right, after sending them to the Manufacturer as many times as I did, I wasn’t sure if they could fix them or if they didn’t care. Your staff located the problems, solved it and now they sound great. Thanks bunches… I was ready to dump these speakers in the trash and your staff made them shine… Amazing how you could fix them and the manufacturer, the people who designed them, couldn’t- GO FIGURE. I will be back whenever I have something to repair relating to speakers!!!

I’ve been repairing a looonngggg time (35 years) and I’ve dealt with many parts/service people. Once in a great while, I find someone special — someone who answers the phone with a smile, even if she’s having a bad day. And it’s not the fake “management makes me do this” smile — I can tell.
Someone who always returns my calls or emails quickly. Someone who checks to see if I got what I ordered. I haven’t seen many like that in recent years, and you, of all the good ones I’ve seen, are simply, the best. I just wanted you to feel appreciated. You do great work, Cathy.

Thank you for your prompt reply regarding my auto speaker. The EMIT tweeter works great in my old Infinity speakers – what great sound, once again!

Just wanted to let you know I appreciated the quick shipping and the kit worked perfectly. I’ve been showing it off to others and giving out your info so they can do the same. I have other sets around the house that will need repair and now that I know how to do the job I’ll be back in touch for some more kits.
Take care,

Hi Cathy,
Collected diaphragm and fitted into horn box yesterday. All working fine. Can I also say, as I did not have a part number for the component, I sent you a detailed description, with dimension details. You were able to identify the part with this information and offer me two options of diaphragm, aluminium or phenolic. Thanks Cathy and thanks Speakerex. I shall contact you again should I require Gauss spare parts and shall recommend you to anyone requiring US manufacture speaker parts.

Hi Cathy,
Your Advent legacy replacement woofers are great! When I damaged one of my original Advent drivers, I was worried that I might have lost that 1977 vintage sound which I was accustomed to hearing, but your new production woofer reproduced that old Advent sound faithfully. I think that Henry Kloss would be proud.
Thanks for a great product and quality service,
Rob

Hi Cathy!
We received the part today and our speakers are working!!! You saved the day here at the studio!! You are officially this week’s 13th Planet Hero!!! Both Andrew and I really appreciate your professionalism, courtesy and fantastic customer service.

hello Cathy,
yes! the package and product did arrive in great shape. yes! i am satisfied with the speaker part that speakerex helped me in obtaining and it was the right parts needed to repair my speaker. i give speakerex on a scale from 1-10…a 10(ten) in friendly service and honesty you gave toward ordering my parts for repair. like what i said in an earlier email, that i would refer my friends to speakerex.com.
i even email google.com and made a complaint about having reconekit.com deleted from their search engine, due to the fact that i had gotten ripped off from reconekit.com. they claim that their parts come straight from the factory, well they are wrong and ripped me off $130.00. found out when i had installed the kit from reconekit.com. made a complaint with reconekit.com and still waiting for a reply which i doubt would ever come about. i also continue on my email to google.com to place speakerex.com first on the list… service and honesty to customers is the key and i would do future bussiness with speakerex.
thank you once again… Rodney A.

Hi Cathy
I have to tell you, your product just saved me $600. I own a pair of Bose 901 series IV speakers that I bought in 1984 and they had started deteriorating 8 years ago. I had called Bose 2 years ago and they told me they would exchange them for $600. I could not afford this price, so I decided I would just put them in storage until I had enough money. I had recently moved last month and saw my Bose speakers again, so I called the Bose Company again to see if they could do anything to help me and once again they told me it cost me $600 to exchange them. Then the representative told me about re foaming my speakers, so I asked for a web site and he suggested to type in re foaming speakers which I did and came across your store. I was very skeptical about doing this because I didn’t want to damage the speaker anymore than they were, but I went ahead and ordered your product. It took me one day for install and another day for drying. You should here my speakers they sound like new. I’m enclosing several pictures and remember this someone who had no idea how to refoam speakers, but your easy to follow instructions really helped.
Thank You
FERNANDO F.

Cathy,
I just wanted to let you know I received the re-coned JBL 123a speakers I sent to you. WOW! Thanks for the quick turn around and the excellent re-coning. I picked them up on Ebay from a seller saying they were in mint condition (one had the voice coil rubbing!), now they really do look and perform like brand new. When I called to check on them a couple weeks ago someone told me the parts wouldn’t be in until September 15th, so I was very happy when I got a call saying they were finished and shipping. Also thank Mike and I think I talked to Steve.

in good shape. You were able to provide me with original equipment mid range speakers for my Infinity speakers which work and sound wonderful.

Cathy,

I’m so glad I found you guys. I have a pair of Bose 601 series 3 that I wanted to give to my son. Of course, the suspension had rotted on the low frequency drivers. I emailed Bose and asked them about possible replacements. They never even bothered emailing me back. I’m always nervous about buying something online through someone I’ve never dealt with before. Your quick response and feedback on my order made ordering from you a delight. I received my re-foam kits in three days. I re-foamed the drivers and my sons “new” speakers are now sounding like brand new. I will be recommending you to everyone I can.

Thanks so much.

hello Cathy,

I sent you an unsolicited e-mail just after I received the GW-15 speakers. The speakers were a perfect drop in fit for the Infinity 150 cabinet. Even the screw holes lined up absolutely perfectly.

I believe that the GW-15 sounds much better then the original Infinity woofers. They are much tighter sounding. The original woofers had a distorted booming quality at certain frequencies that was very annoying. The GW-15 does not do that. I am completely satisfied with them.

The service that I received from you was excellent.

Dear Cathy,

Thank you and your company for the fine service you afforded me. I was in a hurry due to the fact that other companies had not been able to fill my order. Not only was your service fast, but it also included a special no – substitutions speaker part. You are very kind. I think so, because good communication with you and easy explanation able to understand about speaker recone part. I can not thank you enough for three of dust caps gift to me but, I remember that made mistake by your shipping department crew. All of them parts I received on time and in perfect condition. I will be purchasing speaker parts from now on when I need some. I do hope you will overlook my many mistakes in English.

Thanks again. Warm regards,

Cathy,

I was just commenting today about you guys. Told a friend how pleased I was with repairing the speakers rather than buying new ones. I recovered the grills and they look absolutely brand new. I’d give ya’ll a 12+ on a scale of 1 thru 10.

Thank you,

Hi Cathy, I can not imagine having a better experience in dealing with an online company. I received the package (in good shape) the very next day, and by that evening we were once again enjoying our great sounding speakers. Definitely a 10, and I have already talked you up to some friends. Good job guys, thanks.

Thanks for the timely shipping. The package arrived today. Since I’d looked at the instructions at your site and had the prep work done in advance, the repair is completed. My Cerwin Vega’s hadn’t been used in a couple years as the foam had completely come apart. But hey, they were made in ’89. haha

I’m tickled pink to have them looking and sounding almost new again. I’m 1000% percent satisfied and would gladly steer anybody your way in the future. Thanks muchly. : )

I contacted Cathy at the Speaker Exchange because the people at Infinity/Harmon Kardon gave me their name. The woofers I needed were no longer available through Infinity. Cathy was tireless in answering my questions. Her information was always pertinent and helpful. She showed me all my options, and when I made my choice, the replacement infinity woofers I bought were exactly what I expected. They were easy to install and they sound great!

Every aspect of my business transaction with Cathy at the Speaker Exchange was high quality.

Good Afternoon, Cathy!

Just a short note to let you know that the two woofers returned home on Tuesday, are back in place, and are performing fine (we had to “fully test” them before letting you know!). Following their progress with FedEx was something like watching your local TV station following Santa’s progress on Christmas Eve!

I’m glad Infinity had you on their list, and Thank You for the service!

Hi Cathy,

Just wanted to drop you a line to convey my appreciation for all of your help with regard to the refoam kits for my infinity rs 4000 speakers. I ordered the kits today and the fellow I dealt with on the phone was so pleasent and professional it was a pleasure. The fact that you responded to my e-mails so promptly and with so much useful information says a lot about your company. You just don’t get service like this these days.

All the best and thanks again.
Sincerely,

Hi Cathy, well, Speaker Exchange came through once again. The first speaker you replaced for me was the exact speaker replacement from Klipsch and performs great. The Klipsch Horn Tweeter that Randall fixed for me was installed a couple of days ago and sounds fantastic. I had just purchased the Klipsch Tower Speakers KSF 10.5 only to find out that one horn was blown, not good. I called Speaker Exchange and was greeted by Mr. Randall, I explained my problem and he gathered some information about the Klipsch Horn and told me he would call me in a few minutes. Well, he did call me back and advised me that Klipsch had no replacement for this model anymore, production had stopped a while back. So I thought I had lost my purchase but Randall advised me to send him the horn because he might just be able to fix it. So I shipped out the horn to The Speaker Exchange. A day or two later Mr. Randall called me back with great news….he was able to fix the Klipsch horn tweeter. Well, he saved the day. He shipped the horn back right away I installed it and the sound is great!!. Thanks again for all your work, you guys are a life saver. On a scale of 1-10 The Speaker Exchange is rated a 10 since I have used your services twice now and both times you guys have come through with flying colors. Keep up the GREAT work!!

Dearest Mrs. Cathy Satin,

I received the VIFA D75MX drivers and replaced the old Polydomes with them without problem at all! For the sound quality… As I replaced both drivers while the speakers were disconnected from the amp, I couldn’t compare the VIFA to the old Polydome (undamaged one, of course). Although I checked the “new” sound on relatively low levels, to my ears, the result is much more satisfying and pleasant than I would expect. So, Dearest Cathy, thanking you once more for all your efforts and your time to solve my problem, for your perfect kindness and your exceptional patience, please be sure that I will always remain very grateful to you.

Best regards, best wishes,

Hello Cathy.

I received the items yesterday. It took some extra effort to get it from the post office. Nobody knew which postoffice the parcel was send to… But at last, it’s here.

Dear Cathy,

Thank you and your company for the fine service you afforded me. I was in a hurry due to the fact that other companies had not been able to fill my order (GPA : no answer on the pretext of busy, bad communication and Legacy sound service : requsted excess shipping charge etc.). Not only was your service fast, but it also included a special no – substitutions speaker part. You are very kind and gentle. I think so, because good communication with you and easy explanation able to understand about speaker recone part. I can not thank you enough for three of dust caps gift to me but, I remember that made mistake by your shipping department crew. All of them parts I received on time and in perfect condition. I will be purchasing speaker parts from now on when I need some. I do hope you will overlook my many mistakes in English.

Thanks again. Warm regards,

Hello Cathy,

Yes, the midrange speakers were everything that I was told and more. They arrived quicker than I expected. They were easy to install after, Randall, explained but he really knew his stuff. These were truly a great replacement for the polydome that had cracked due to the age. I will definitely recommend you and use you next time I have an opportunity. I was so glad to find speakerexchange when I searched for replacement and then the expert service of Randall.

Hey Cathy,

Everything worked out great and my clients at the club are happy. I look forward to working with you again, and have already lined up some other clients that will need reconing and diaphragm replacements. The quality of workmanship on the recone was exceptional, if only noticed by a trained eye. On a scale of one to ten… a 10+. I was very happy with the turn around time and the packaging and shipping were great also.

As I write this, I am listening to the 3839 Tannoys that were recently returned to me from Speakerex in Florida. Dvorak’s Dances (Vanguard Stereolab, Mario Rossi, The Vienna State Opera Orchestra) never sounded so Slavonic. My re-surrounded Tannoys produce bass that is not just powerful and profound, but better detailed than I have ever heard them. I would never hesitate to commend my Tannoys to Speakerex, and its knowledgeable and charming chargé d’affaires, Cathy.

Hi Cathy,

Thank you for sending the Tannoy diaghragms. The package arrived very well packed with no damage and shipping was very fast. I installed the diaghragms in the speakers, aligned them and measured the frequency response with a computer Real Time Analysis program. The results were excellent!

You matched the 2 diaghragms really well and very well balanced. Playing music through them is amazing, just like Tannoy’s are suppose to sound! I highly recommend your company to anyone who wants quality products at a good price and most importantly great service and feedback. Thank you for everything. This is my first experience with your company and I will definately order from you again.

Best Regards,
Ken

I am extremely pleased – a perfect 10. And, the savings were substantial. Toyota wanted $300 – in advance – to order a new speaker plus the cost of removal and reinstallation. You made mine good as new for a total of $55! I just returned from having the speaker reinstalled and the person at Norton Stereo who did it said the speaker sounds great. They asked if I would give them your phone number. I did and sugested they check your website. I will happily recommend you to anyone who needs your services.

Thank you.

I was very impressed with the repair work you did on the two speakers from my Seeburg 201 Jukebox. They were the final pieces in a total restoration I have done on the unit. It now not only looks great, but now sounds great also.

Hi Cathy, The newly refurbished speakers arrived quickly via DHL. The packing was excellent and quite ingenious really — the USPS Priority Mail carton boxes are perfect for the larger speakers. The speakers now sound like new. I am very happy with the service from Speaker Exchange and will rate it a perfect ten.

Dear Cathy:

Last night, a musical evening was arranged in honor of the Tannoy twins, fully restored after a brief vacation at Speaker Exchange in Tampa, where they were surrounded with love by Cathy Satin. They were reunited with their companions of many years: the unfailingly reliable Frank McIntosh; Swiss music box manufacturer Hermann Thorens and his good right arm, Joseph Grado; and the world famous tracker, Sidney N. Shure.

The moment the Tannoys began to perform, it was apparent that they were once again at the pinnacle of their form. From Robert Veyron-Lacroix’s shimmering harpsichord to Alexei Sultanov’s bone-rattling piano fortissimos, from E. Power Biggs’ thunderous 32-foot pedal to Springsteen’s ‘Thunder Road,’ the Tannoys re-created the live event in all its delicacy, dynamism, and dimension.

Thank you Cathy, Mike, and the rest of the surgical team at The Speaker Exchange. Now if you will excuse me, Ella and I have some lost time to make up.

Gratefully,
Henry S. (Chef Henry)

The speakers are great. The speakers were original option equipment from a 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible. The installer had never seen that size and depth of speaker, and in an exhaustive search I could not find a replacement which would fit the door cut-outs. The refurb was excellent, and the Cougar sounds great, inside and out.

Thank you very much.

Hi Cathy,

Appreciate your note. The Woofers arrived safe and sound. I must say I was really impressed with the care and thought given to the packaging of the speakers – WoW!! Very impressive.

I got the diaphragm yesterday, in an excellent condition. No wonder the way you sent it. No chance for any damage, except perhaps an elephant would sit on it. But even then then I’m not so sure.

Hi there Cathy,

I am so happy with your services Thank you, the port PT-F440 is a perfect match, size and all!!! And for your records it’s a perfect match for a Mackie SRS1500 sub, so you can now advertise that you supply, there have been a number of people enquiring about that port all over the world, Mackie has no stock!! now obsolete.

Cathy,

As an FAA certification specialist, I am an extremely particular person, and in the aviation industry we must work to a quality standard that demands “defect free” in the workplace. At home, I also expect high quality and performance from my collection of vintage Klipsch speakers. Following a shipping mishap recently, I sent you a badly damaged Klipsch woofer in need of re-build. The driver was quite expensive and this repair was my first experience with The Speaker Exchange. You know, a lot of trust goes into sending a high end driver out for repair, especially when you just wish you could just make it like new again and pray that when you get it back it will match the others that stayed behind in looks and performance.

Well, when I received the speaker back I was left speechless. The re-cone work you did on my 15? Klipsch driver was absolute perfection. It returned better than new, and a perfect match to my other Klipsch drivers right down to the placement of the “PWK” logo Klipsch dust cap! I will share this positive experience with my colleagues at GE and am happy to pass my recommendation along to others.

My total Speaker Exchange experience was indeed a 10++. I would strongly recommend that anyone else out there who is in pursuit of perfection, not even consider going anywhere other than The Speaker Exchange for their speaker repair needs!

Hi Cathy,

Just a follow-up to my previous feedback:
I have installed the repaired passive radiator and reconnected the subwoofer to my surround sound/music system. As I expected, the system sounds absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t be happier or more satisfied with your service which provided me with a fast, affordable way to again get the maximum enjoyment both listening to my music collection as well as enjoying the full-range sound of our home theater.

Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Keith R.

Hi,

Even though I haven’t had the opportunity to reinstall the passive radiator in my subwoofer yet, given the nature of the repair, I am confident it will perform as it did when I first got it, or maybe even better.

I was hoping you would contact me for my comments and opinion about your service. I think you are at the very top of the list of the best companies I have ever had the good fortune of patronizing. The internet is wonderful, as I’m sure you realize – I found you there! Communication was outstanding from the time you received the item to be repaired until after I had gotten it back from you. And it was done with speed to which I am unaccustomed in this day and age. I wouldn’t hesitate to use your service again should the need arise and you can be sure that yours will be the ONLY name I will recommend to anyone else I know or hear about who has a related issue! You and your staff are fantastic! Thank you.

Sincerely,
Keith R.

Cathy – Everything was awesome, quick service and very quick delivery. Installed the speaker last night and worked perfect (this was the second one ordered in the last couple months). Thanks for everything.

Mike

Speaker Exchange did an awesome job!! You contacted me when you received the speakers… we discussed what was to be repaired & before I knew it the speakers were delivered back to me… quickly & as good as new… 10++++ Thanks!!

Sincerely,

Cathy: The Altecs are back in service and seem to be good as new. The speakers arrived in good shape and on time. No complaints. Thanks for the excellent service. You get a “10?.

The refoam kit arrived in good order. The instructions were clear and very helpful. My vintage JBL’s now sound as good as new. I would highly recommend your company. You are rated a 10.

Thank You,

Hi Cathy,

I was very pleased with the refoam kit and my AR3a loudspeakers now sounds wonderful again. The instructions were very useful and easy to follow and the result is I think excellent. Thank you for handling my order fast and efficiently and you get a 10 from me.

Hi Cathy & Glenn!

This is the second time I’ve had Speaker Exchange recone my speakers and I am once again very happy! The first was my old loveable Dynaco hi-fi speakers I’ve enjoyed since 1970. Recently, my 1990 Snell EIII woofers were restored and sound as majestic as ever. As a Mixer and Composer, it’s crucial to have accurate listening references, and I’m so happy to have my sounds back to normal. Thanks so much for keeping my “friends” alive!!!

A TIP’O’THE HAT TO YA BOTH…
IRA, LOS ANGELES

Cathy,

The Polk woofer arrived intact, and am now listening to my whole speaker system again! They sound great. Thanks for all the help. I will definitely use you all again in the future.

Sincerely,
Peter W.

---

Hello Cathy,

The speakers arrived and were in great condition. I installed them and have been enjoying them since. Thank you for your prompt service. I am very pleased. The price you charged was even lower than you said, and you applied the coupon as you promised, even though I had shipped the speakers before learning of it.

On a scale of 1-10 I would give you a 10.
Randy

---

Now that I’ve had a few weeks to break in the repaired woofer, I can comment about my experience with Speaker Exchange. I am extremely pleased with the repair and transport times, cost of the repair, and the quality of the workmanship. I would both use Speaker Exchange again, as well as recommend it to others. I rate your service a 10 out of 10. Good job.

Phillip

---

Just wanted to let you know that I received the speaker and I am very pleased with it. I will pass your name on to my other friends that also have old or vintage cars that may need your services in the future. I have not installed speaker as yet, but appears to be done nicely. Speaker was received in a timely fashion. Thank you.

Hi Cathy,

I received the speakers in good shape and I am happy with them. I spoke with Mike over the phone after reviewing your website and he was very helpful. I explained to him my problem and he researched my pioneer S-910 speakers and came up with a solution. I talked to Mike on November 3rd; he called me back on Monday, November 5th. At that time I ordered the woofers, and I received them on November 8th. I would rate my experience with your company as a 10. Mike was the driving force behind that.

Thanks,
George

You guys rock! Always prompt, professional and knowledgeable, we have never had a problem with the Speaker Exchange.

Thanks

Cathy,

The speakers you repaired for me sound great. The turn around time was very fast, communication was excellent and I saved several hundred dollars vs. having the manufacturer repair or replace my speakers.

I would highly recommend The Speaker Exchange to anyone.
Thanks again for a great job!

Best regards,
Scott W.

---

Definitely a 10! VERY VERY fast turnaround!!!!
Thanks so much!

On a scale of 1-10 I give a “11?. You responded quick. The order was shipped in 2 days and you answered every email and question very quick. Product showed up well packaged and worked perfect. Thanks.

Elizabeth

---

Cathy,

This is the first time a company has wrote and asked me to rate their service. I have to admit, I have no complaints. My kit arrived in a timely matter in perfect shape. All the parts and full instructions was included and my speakers are like new again. Thank you very much!

Chad

---

Hi Cathy,

The Infinity repairs worked out just great! I ended up having a bit of a “wiring issue”, but once I corrected that both cabinets and all of the components are up and running. It is wonderful having music in the house again.

My experience with your company was top notch!

Cathy,

GREAT GREAT GREAT – 10 out of 10. I am telling everyone about you.

Thanks,
Adam

Dear Cathy,

I’ve just hooked up the speakers and they sound fabulous. I see why they were so beloved by their owner. Everything seems to be perfect and I’m sure the customer will be thrilled. Personally, I’m delighted that my packaging did the job of protecting the speakers on trip to Tampa and back.

Since I can find no fault with any facet of dealing with Speaker Exchange, I’d have to rate your company a 10. The people I spoke with on the phone were all polite, professional and informative. The time it took to finish the work was quicker than what I”m used to. Your prices were more than reasonable and the results speak for themselves.

Most of all, I was amazed that in this age of throw-away electronics, a product this old could be brought back to like-new condition. When I first saw the speakers I was ready to administer last rites and advise the customer to purchase a new set. Luckily, the store owner suggested I call Speaker Exchange. If my 33-year-old Larger Advents ever die, yours will be the first company I call.

Sincerely,
Dave M.
Service Manager, Hoyt Stereo

I am quite pleased with the speaker I got from you. I thank you for your support in getting it to me. I will be ordering more from you in the future. Again thank you.

Dear Cathy,

My speaker is performing as good as new. I am very pleased with your work. Thank you again.

Sincerely Yours,

Cathy;

I bought this tweeter for my husband (he’s redoing a vintage amp). So far, he’s very pleased and he even called today to ask some advice and was helped promptly.

Thanks!!!

Cathy-

The Speaker Exchange has displayed an exceptional service oriented commitment from our initial conversation through fruition. I wish everyone we dealt with had this attitude-, I’m sure you will keep up the good work. Thanks for the quick turnaround and quality satisfaction.

Cathy,

Your diaphragm fit perfectly! Thanks for saving the day. Nice detective work, my description over the phone was far from exact.

Ron G.
p.s. Thanks for the speedy delivery! Keep me in your records, I’ll be back.

Rating 10. Fit just like the original! Performed great once installed. Delivery and ordering were well within my expectations!

Sincerely,
Robin M.

Hi Cathy!

Thanks for asking. The woofers are great! They arrived quickly and were meticulously packaged. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate the transaction a 10. I will definitely use you for any of my future speaker needs.

Have a great day!
~Autumn

---

Thanks Cathy, I have not installed them in the theatre yet, I would rate what I see of the work as a 10. It is not easy to retro-fit a 76 year old speaker. You should put that in your web site! By the way, TA 4151 is a Western Electric number. I have an elliptical speaker from a 1935 Philco radio that I will send you when I get a chance.

Thanks,
Peter

---

Hi Cathy,

Before I found your website I took my broken speaker to a local repair shop who told me it cannot be fixed and I should buy a replacement. I know little about speakers in general, but enough to know that a repair on my speaker should be feasible.

I e-mailed you, and you were confident that your business could repair my speaker. I sent it in and sure enough, my speaker is back in my hands good as new.

So to answer your question, I have to give you a 10. Thank you very much!
Jonathan

---

Hey Cathy,

Yep, the cloth came in and it is exactly what we were looking for… on a scale of 1 – 10… I would put you folks at a 12. Thanks for your help and the next time I need something like this again, now I know where to go.

Hope you have a good day.
Thanks,
Harold

Cathy:

As a speaker re-coner myself I highly recommit your excellent service and customer service. I receive my order the next day with plenty of e-mail traffic notifying me where the package was every second of the day. Very impressive!

I have closed my speaker re-coning business doors and I plan on sending all my customers your way.

Kind regards,
Carl S., MCS Vintage Sound

Hello Cathy,

You are the first one to know: my mids came in this morning, I fixed them right away and they play like hell!! Dutch customs made me pay an extra € 55 but I am happy like a child that my sound is back!!

Thanks for your extra trouble!!
Harry

Cathy,

I received my speaker yesterday and will use it this weekend to break it in. The workmanship and the way it was packed for shipment was very impressive. All that Randall said was true. I will be shipping the other speaker for the same service soon.

Bill R.

---

Thank you! On a one to ten scale, you guys rate ELEVEN! Your turnaround is fabulous. Sent the speakers on Monday and they were back in three days! They are already installed in my Wilson Audio WATTS and sound great. I look forward to working with you again.

Michael

---

You folks did a very nice job on these Peerless midrange drivers. Even the one with the previously-attempted repair looks great. More importantly, the sine wave tests sound perfect. I’m sure we’ll be sending you some more of these down the road. Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,
Jim L. – Griggs Music

Dear Folks at Speaker Exchange,

Just a note to let you know that the reconing job you did for me last week on my JBL 2245H (18? Bass driver) was a great job, as previous jobs you have done for me have been. It performs flawlessly and looks great too. My B460 Subwoofer is really “up to the mark” now. Thanks!

Best regards to all,
Peter M.

---

I just wanted to share with you and the staff my thanks for a job well done. You received a speaker to be re-foamed last Thursday from me and I was contacted that Friday for my billing information. The gentlemen I spoke with said that I should have it back no later then Friday the 11th. As my buddy and I were installing my system this past Tuesday, Fed Ex shows up with my speaker. Needless to say, I was thrilled on its early arrival. Perfect timing! By the way, great job on the speaker.

Thanks so much!
Tim F.

Hi Cathy:

Received the tweeter today… it was exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for your help. It’s really great doing business with a pro. I’m sure we will do business again.

Hi Cathy,

Recently received my JBL Le5-2 midrange back from a recone job. Just wanted to let you know that the service and quality of work were both excellent. Don’t change…..It’s nice to know that there are people out there who still offer quality workmanship and friendly service.

Best regards,
Al

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the quick service. We ordered the tweeters and received them in under a week and were able to use them this past weekend at our concert. Great job!
Thanks

Hi Cathy,

On a scale of 1 to 10 you really are a “10?. I was going to just buy woofers locally but you seemed very knowledgeable about the Advent product line and I felt much more confident that I would get a speaker that would work well. I was glad to hear that you knew of a production Advent woofer replacement that just went into production. My next upgrade project will be for my old Marantz Imperial 5 speakers… with YOUR help!!

Thanks again,
John

---

Dear Cathy,

Well what can I say except many thanks, yet again. There aren’t many that respond so well with a result and also pass on a saving in the costs to me. Yourself and the Speakerex company are a welcome example of how to treat customers that many companies in England should take note of.

Well done and thank you.
Peter C.

---

Hi

Please do me a favor and tell the person who worked on the woofer they did a great job. It works great. In awhile I’ll package the other one and send it to you in the same box. Thanks again.

David B.

---

Hi Cathy, well speakers are installed and working fine. As a buyer it’s nice if not unusual when all expectations are exceeded. From the time I placed my order everyone I spoke with was very helpful. You answered my questions, tracked my shipment and followed up regarding my satisfaction. Pleasure doing business with your company. I’d rate you a “TEN”…… Jack

A 10!!! I was impressed by the quality of work performed. I basically have two new speakers now. Thank you and I will be sure to recommend your company to friends/relatives.

Hi Cathy. Got the cones today. Everything is GREAT!!! Thank you very much. Look forward for further cooperation.

Hello Cathy,

On a scale of 1 to 10….. your company gets a rating of “10? from me.

I have to be honest with you, but when I sent my two speakers to you, I wanted to believe that getting one speaker re-coned and getting a replacement speaker for the other wasn’t going to cost me an arm and a leg and take forever. Well, you exceeded my expectations. In just a little over a week, I received my re-coned woofer and a new tweeter speaker. I installed them the same evening and I now have two great sounding stereo systems.

We don’t have anyone in our area, that I know of, that does speaker repair work or at a reasonable cost like your company. So, I highly recommend you to anyone in question.

Thank you again,
Martin K.

---

I rate it a 10. The speakers came out great and they were well shipped and done fast. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks again!

Elias

---

Cathy,

The speakers did arrive and I have installed and connected them to my stereo. I use these in combination with an Ipod. They are working great and the sound is excellent. Your service is all you promised in our original contact email. I would give you a rating of 10.

Sincerely,
Don

---

I received my replacement woofers today and I am thrilled. They are a perfect fit and they work great. You were a great help in my search for these replacement woofers that I needed in order to repair my JBL speakers. Great customer service before and after the sale, same day shipping, a fair price, and an excellent product. A customer can’t ask for more. You’re a 10 in my book.

Warm Regards,

Cathy,

This is the second time I have used your Company. Just like last time, I rate my experience a ’10? in all regards. You have a terrific company. In a world of generally poor customer service, The Speaker Exchange sets the bar for other service companies.

Thank you,
Mark C.

Hi Cathy,

I received the speakers on Saturday morning and installed them Saturday afternoon. It was great to get new life into, and revived sound out of, my floor standing speakers. I listened to them all Saturday evening and well into Sunday and was constantly reminded of just how good they can sound and how much I missed having them in good working order. I have several pair of speakers throughout the house and notice others are starting to show signs of disintegrating foam so I’ll be back to you.

Thanks again.
Jim

---

Cathy:

Your rating is definitely a 10+. I have used your service before and it has always been a pleasure to do bussiness with your organization.

Thanks,
Octavio

---

So glad you touched based…. i was planning on giving you my feedback…. but who knows if I would have remembered!!

We give you a #10…. We are thrilled w/ the work you have done. Packaged great, Quick turnaround and Excellent workmanship. The speakers sound Awesome again. I can now resume playing all my favorite tunes…. thanks for all your quick responses to my questions and follow ups.

Cathy,

I was very pleased with your service. It was timely and speakers are working fine. Thanks much. I would rate your service as a 10. P.S. Really liked the packing job you guys do for the return shipping.

Hi there!

Got the speakers yesterday, and reinstalled them today. They sound great. I appreciate the quick turnaround, and your helpful advice. The band seems to enjoy blowing stuff up, so you’ll be getting more business from us… take care!

Jason

---

Cathy,

I finally found time to hook up the new woofers. Please do what ever you like with my old ones – the new ones sound great. Rating: I’d rate you a 9.5 (only because there is always room for improvement). Your service, communications and follow through are excellent.

Thanks for all of your help and advice.
Dick R.

---

Cathy,

Thank you for the excellent service. It definitely rates a “10?. I received my speaker on time and perfectly reconed. The old McIntosh stereo is back to reproducing music exactly as it was designed… in high fidelity. I especially appreciate the personal service and ease with which I was able to communicate with you and Randall on the repair. I only sent you one woofer yet I was treated as if I were your best customer.

I am so impressed by your service, I have just shipped two more speakers for you to evaluate for repair. You should receive them this Thursday.

Thanks again,
Bart N.

---

Cathy,

The speaker was delivered yesterday. Thanks. I would rate the service a 10. While you were unable to repair the speaker I sent, your guys were able to find an affordable replacement that will work even better than the original.

Thanks,
Todd

---

Hi Cathy,

Please feel free to post my comments, as I am very happy with the results.

The speaker you chose to replace one of my Yamaha NS 1000 midranges is an excellent match. I’ve “tested” it with a variety of music: acoustic, orchestral, electric, etc., and at varying volumes, and the speakers now sound as good as I remember them before the midrange got damaged. What a joy it is to listen to them without the hiss.

I would rate the overall experience a 9.5, I am very pleased. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

Thanks,
Stu

---

Hi Cathy,

On a scale of 1 thru 10 I’ll give you a 9.5 (nobody gets a 10). The speakers look great. The repair time was better than I expected, and the cost was very reasonable. I appreciated the communication, from test results to mechanical issues. I will definitely use and recommend your company in the future. It was a pleasure dealing with you and your company.

Regards
David J.

Cathy

A 10. I am very happy with the quality of the recone and the time of repair. I like it so much that I sent another one to you yestreday. I have found my recone vender in Speaker Exchange.

Thanks

Cathy,

The order came quickly. I have done the repair, and it was very successful. All in all I would rate the service a 10, Thank you very much, I look forward to dealing with Speaker Exchange much more in the future.

THANK YOU.

I gotta give you guys a 10! The customer support quickly identified the replacement speaker I needed. They accurately described the billing process and provided me with a realistic shipping expectation. The speaker arrived earlier than predicted and was superbly packaged. Replacement of my old speaker was a breeze. It’s great to come across companies with this level of customer orientation!

Hello Cathy,

I’m in an orgasmic state as my very rare BIC speakers have new life thanks to you as I got my rare AU-919 Sansui amp cranking out 100 wpc to my darling BIC’s. Bless you folks as I say 10 out of 10. Your all good in my book.

OH… ABOUT 9 AND 15/16… I HAVE ALREADY REINSTALLED THEM AND SHOOK THE WINDOWS PANES… THANKS. IF I HAVE ANY FUTURE SPEAKER PROBLEMS… I WON’T HAVE THEM FOR LONG WITH YALL AROUND….

THANKS AGAIN…
VINCENT (REKAP) K.

Hello Cathy,

I am completely satisfied with the service – this experience was a 10 — right part, trackable delivery (so I could watch it en route), and delivered to my doorstep. I have another speaker set that I was going to discard because it has a blown driver but will most likely come back to your company to get a replacement.

Will certainly be back to do business with you again.

Thank you,
Mike S.

Cathy:

I just wanted to thank you and your talented speaker technicians for doing a great job on rebuilding the woofers from my vintage (i.e. 1980) KEF 105.2 loudspeakers. I put the speakers in the cabinets this evening as soon as I saw they arrived and WOW. My speakers sound close to what they sounded like when they were new 26 years ago !!!

It’s nice to find craftspeople who can still rebuild something instead of trying to sell you something inferior to what you originally had. And at a fair price. I am a happy rock ‘n roll camper once again. Thanks, I will recommend you guys to all my audiophile friends.

Keep up the great work.

Sincerely,
Paul M.

On a scale of one to ten (ten being the best) – how do we rate”
I would have to say a ten. Service was fast courteous and the repair seems to be of great quality.

Just wanted to write and say thanks for great service. Randall’s been a big help on 3 recent trips in there to replace various parts of my JBLs.

I will spread the word!

Cathy,

We received an email from our accounting group (reminding us to use) Speaker Exchange. We just want to let you know, we still love you! It is regretful that the speaker business, as far as we are concerned has evolved over the past few years. We rarely receive any of the larger cabinet speakers for repair any more. Our typical customer has migrated to the compact surround sound speaker and a subwoofer. These packaged systems are typically made up of small sealed cabinets that are replaced as a unit rather than serviced. We see very few failures of subwoofers. We will certainly continue to use your services to maintain the few lifetime warranty products that are still out there. It appears that those remaining may have outlived their original owners!

Thanks!
Mike P.

Hi Cathy

Thank you so much. I have completed the re-foam and the speakers sound as new !!!!!!!!!!! I will place your add in our reception so all my clients can see it.

Kind regards
Tom

Cathy,

Thanks so much – Actually you guys did a rebuild (I can’t remember what all was involved) of my JBL L65 speaker set, when we moved here in the mid-90?s. I had some mild cone damage from the move, so I had you guys do a complete work-up on both speakers. What an incredible job – they are PERFECT. Feel free to use my name as a reference for your GREAT WORK. I do pass on your name whenever someone asks about my 3-decade (circa 1975) old set of end table speakers!!

In this particular case, is simply my wife has a JBL sub-woofer in her car (which has over 100,000 miles on it), and I want to get rid of the incredibly annoying BUZZING from the torn foam. With that in mind, I think I will swing by and pick up a refoaming kit. My wife doesn’t even notice the slight buzz, but it DRIVES ME NUTS, so my only intent is to eliminate my annoyance!

However, you can probably count on seeing my also original BOSE 901 (circa 1976) in the near future… I think their foaming held up longer than the JBLs due to to much smaller speaker size.

Steve

Cathy:

Your company did a great job re-coning the Sequerra Met 7 woofers. There are many pairs of these speakers thru out the country (many probably blown) with no place to repair them. I even called Dick Sequerra, a high end audio celebrity, and he had no recommendations for repair and basically told me that I was out of luck. These speakers are highly desired and if some how in your online ad, reference repairs are available, I think that the number of hits would surprise you. Thanks for everything. If you need to talk further about these speakers feel free to contact me. Sequerra made 10 different versions of met’s.

Bill Bishop

Hi Cathy,

Got the sub-woofer replacement this morning. Installed it with no problems (the driver was an exact match for the old one). Sounds great!

Thanks for that personal touch. I would recommend your services to anyone.

Thanks again for the great service!
John

Cathy,

“Tell your technicians, I really appreciate the quality work. I wasn’t looking forward to selling these speakers in their poor condition (being 27 years old), then buying new ones with the same quality for a lot more money. The most wonderful thing about listening to my speakers now is they bring back good memories about college, in spite of reminding me how much more hair I had.”

Looking forward to getting the other set of speakers done.
Mark

---

Hi Randall,

Just a note following up from the work you did on my JBL L26 tweeters and crossovers. After I assembled them, the total rebuild sounded excellent. I want to thank you for the guidance you extended to me to make the job perfect and complete. Actually, I did not realize how much music was being lost from age degradation. I use these units as a basement training project for drumming and I play the same songs over and over, so this is how a know that I’m hearing notes I never heard.

Thanks for that personal touch. I would recommend your services to anyone.

Kindest regards,
Steve V. – Atlanta

Hi Cathy,

I received my speakers yesterday 12/6 by FedEx. I must say I was very pleased with the quality of work, and the turn around time was great.

They sound great I will let my freinds, co workers and family know about your service. Cathy I will send all my speaker repairs to your business.

Thanks

Hi,

I just wanted to say how happy I was with the Refoaming of my 12 inch speakers. I re-installed the speakers in my Marantz Design Series 920 Cabinets. Had my Marantz 2265B, cleaned and adjusted. Hooked it all up and was very HAPPY to hear that clean, warm and crisp Marantz sound again. The workmanship was great. You can use me as a reference any time.

Vince P.

Hi Cathy,

I installed the speaker this morning. The workmanship looked great and it sounds beautiful! Thanks for your fast and professional work!

I had your company recone my 12? CV woofer. First. Thank you for doing it in the red color like I asked. I put it back in the cabinet, hooked it up between two CV 211P’s and they all work well together. Thank you. Taking it out of the cabinet, mailing it, waiting for parts and putting it back together was worth the time and money spent.

Thank you again.
Richard M.

Cathy,

I can’t thank you enough for all of your help! You have been so wonderful to work with and so professional! I have received your latest e-mail with the shipping information and will confirm delivery with Composition workshop as well.

I sincerely look forward to doing business with you again in the very near future!

Have a wonderful & blessed day!
Sincerely,

Hi Cathy,

Just wanted to let you know I received my CV tweeter I ordered from you guys. It came much faster than I expected, I guess CV was quick to send it to ya. The packaging was excellent too by the way!

I wanted to say thanks for your quick service and great attention to such a small order. I will certainly use you guys for all my speaker needs in the future and I’ll be happy to recommend you to all my friends.

Take care and have a great weekend.
Thanks Again,

Hi Cathy,

Thank you for your prompt response. Customer service is always most important to me, especially in this world where customer service has gone out the window! Literally, nobody cares about it any more. Especially if you live in a metropolitan area like I do. I’ll check out your recommendations.

Thanks again and I’ll spread the word. I’m also a guitar player who hangs with other guitar players. They would love to find a good speaker repair shop.

Cathy,

I had a really nice experience with your company. The folks at Infinity referred me to you. One of my woofers needed repairing. From my initial phone call, all the way to receiving my speaker back, I had a great experience. I was so glad to power my system up last night and listen to a little music! The speaker sounds great! Looking forward to the weekend! By the way, FedEx Home Delivery was awesome!

Thank you,

Hi Cathy and everyone at Speaker Exchange.

I wanted to thank you again for the great job you did on my JBL speakers. I was ready to get rid of them, not knowing that they could be repaired. I have had them for 30 years and loved the sound of them. Now thanks to you I will be able to enjoy them again. Thanks again, and if anyone I know needs this done, I will know where to send them.

Cathy,

I just wanted to take a second and tell you how pleased we are with the service that we received from the shop. Everyone that I talked to was very helpful and easy to work with. We hooked the sub up and it works perfectly.

Thanks!

Cathy,

Thank you for taking care of my speakers. The woofers came back home in perfect condition and after connecting them to the rest of the speakers’ setup they sound out of this world! What a difference!!! I have never thought that these speakers could sound so good. Thanks to your super professional quality of service I can enjoy listening to my music collection with unprecedented clarity of sound. If anybody would ask me where I have fixed my speakers I will definitely direct them to your service. Phenomenal job!!!! Thank you again.

Sincerely,
Paul Siwko-Bajon

Cathy,

So sorry it took me awhile to get back to you. I know I’ve sat down at least 3 times to try. Always something up here. The speakers sound great, a bit more tighter than I remember, gonna have to get use to them again. But, I wanted you to know I couldn’t be more happier with them. The Dahlquist soon to follow. I will let you know as soon as I am ready to send them. One thing for certain, The Speaker Exchange is absolutely dependable.

Thank You, Jack

I just got my refoamed Infinity driver back, re-attached it to my 10 year old speaker. Sounds like new! Excellent workmanship. Replacing the pair with a similar current model would have cost over $700.

Hey Cathy, I recieved my speakers yesterday, hooked them up and played them. They sound great!!! Thank you for your service and I will tell others about you guys.

Hi Cathy – this is Vincent again. I had you and Randall & especially Gene recone my old 12? JBL D131 Loudspeaker and it turned out GREAT so I am going to send you another one if that’s OK with you guys.

Repairing vintage audio equipment

Have speakers that need fixed, particularly old and rare models such as Ohm Fs” Go straight to The Speaker Exchange, found at www.speakerex.com. Their work is absolutely legendary and has saved some great classic speakers from early graves.

Good Morning Glenn,

It was good to meet you in person yesterday and just a great pleasure and experience having Kevin and Jeff install the speakers and set up the system the “right way!”

It has been a most pleasurable and informative experience and I greatly appreciate the way you do business. I look forward to scheduling the modification of the cabinet which will make everything just perfect.

Best wishes,
Leon J.

PS – I played the movie Stealth last night (Kevin’s recommendation to find something in DTS) and it was awesome.

Hi Cathy,
I almost forgot to follow up on the work you did for me. The refoamed speakers are terrific! I am very pleased with the work, the response time and the pricing, and will be sure to spread the word to others. Thanks again for doing what you said you would do.

Thanks Cathy! I already am your biggest fan! Your business ethics and response time is absolutely suberb, and I’m sure your work is the benchmark goal for others. I will comment back to you once I receive the speakers, and will continue to spread the word about your company! Keep up the great work!!

Sincerely,
Gary LaCourse

Cathy and everyone at Speaker Exchange,

Sorry it has taken me awhile to respond, it has been a busy time & I have been busy getting back to work after the Christmas holidays.

I am absolutely in awe of the work you and your speaker experts did for me and my beloved Yamaha NS-2000?s! As we unfortunately learned, Yamaha had discontinued making, and had sold the last of their coil replacement kits for the 13 inch carbon-fiber woofer ( JA3301 ). The coil itself is certainly unique, and Speaker Exchange went far above and beyond ordinary speaker repair organizations. Using the original coil, you took precise measurements and fabricated a replacement coil and resurrected my dead driver!! I am totally pleased with the result, the NS-2000 is as good as new!

I am sure that many people have experienced the same discouraging situation that I was in — a speaker worth thousands or more

s, and having a dead driver with no prospect for repair or replacement. And there are of lot of excellent speakers from the 70?s, 80?s even 90?s (and maybe before!) for which there are no parts or replacements available anywhere. In my case, the Yamaha NS-2000?s are the ultimate top-of-the-line in the Yamaha series beginning with the NS-1000?s sold in the USA with NS-1000X somewhere in between. The NS-2000?s were never retailed in this country that I know of, and a pair recently sold on eBay in England for $4500. Getting my pair working again is truly remarkable.

I am totally pleased with Speaker Exchange for taking on my dilemma and pursuing it thru to a successful conclusion. You truly care for your customers and their classic speakers!

Again, I deeply thank you!!

Cathy,

Thanks for getting back to me. I have used Your company several times in the mid ’90?s. Haven’t needed you lately, but just so you know, I wouldn’t use anybody else. I will be sending the Gefco’s down soon. I believe one was repaired by you before. I would prefer that you rebuild them both with the best quality you have available, and match them as best you can. I will write you again when I ship them out.

Thanks, Jack

Good evening Cathy,

The speakers arrived this weekend and I’ve put the system back together. They sound simply wonderful! The repairs look like original work and and the sound couldn’t be better. Thanks for a very nice job and a quick turn around.

Cathy (and speakerex.com),

Just wanted you to know that I received my 10-inch woofer today (already), and I have just installed them and cranked up my old Pioneer HPM-60?s! The sound was great….. so much better than several new pairs of speakers I tried. I can’t thank you enough for your advice and quick delivery. I am very pleased, and plan to send a complimentary e-mail out from your website.

For just $59, I was able to get a (better) and original sound from a 30 year old speaker system, rather than buying a pair of Sony, JBL, or Yamaha speakers (new) for over $250 per pair. Keep up the good work. Should I need to replace my 2nd Pioneer woofer in the future, I will know who to call on!!!!

Thanks, again!
Bruce Farris

You’re welcome, Cathy.

Yes, I was very pleased not only with the quality of the repair, but with the personalized service. I still mention your company whenever some one asks about a speaker problem they can’t figure out….. after all, that’s your job! I have since sold my SL600 and now own an SL500 Silver Arrow. Speakers work fine, for now, but if I ever have a problem, I know who to call!!

Thanks for taking the time to thank me, this only galvanizes the fact that you guys really do care cause you show it!

Dear Cathy

Many thanks for the replacement diaphragm which arrived safely today. Your reputable, quality service is a credit to international trade and I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to my customers and associates.

Once again many thanks,

I just wanted to send you a quick note and let you know how impressed and satisfied I am regarding my recent purchase of a replacement woofer for my Infinity Reference Three speakers. To begin with, I received a quick response to my inquiry regarding a woofer replacement. Cathy was knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service – she is a true asset to your company. She provided excellent and quick advice. My order was shipped rapidly and arrived in great condition. As soon as I took it out of the packaging, I was impressed by the weight of the magnet and once I installed the speaker, there was no mistake that the sound quality was far superior to the original Infinity woofer. I may have to order another one for the other speaker! I won’t hesitate to purchase from the Speaker Exchange again or to enthusiastically recommend you to friends.

Sincerely,

Dave C.

…Your prices are certaily reasonable, the speed they (Pioneer HPM 1100s – 15.75? woofers) were repaired in was exceptional, and the quality of the work was TOP of the LINE. If I should ever need any additional work of this type done, you can be assured that your company will be the 1st on the list, and I will never hesitate to recommend you to anyone needing work done on their speaker systems.

A Very Large Thank You, Bill

---

I received my JBL 2235H woofer yesterday! WOW…It sounds WONDERFUL!! I am very pleased to say the least, this is just like brand new! I can’t remember the bass being so tight and well defined! Which ever one of your staff did the repairs, they did a magnificent job! I appreciate you all, and many thanks to Cathy for putting up with my constant emails and calls! THANKS CATHY! If I ever hear of anyone needing repair for their speakers, I will DEFINITELY send them your way.

I wanted to say Thank You! for the excellent job your staff did re-foaming my 1970?s JBL L-50 Woofers, the communications was excellent, the turnaround and subsequent quality outstanding.

Your technician, Gene, recently reconed my two 18? subwoofers. I wanted you to know that the subs now sound better than when I first bought them, which is simply amazing. Gene is to be commended for his skills and professionalism. Thanks, Speaker Exchange, for a great job!

You reconed two EV SRO-12 speakers for me, and they sound fabulous. My Stratocaster loves’em, my Marshall loves’em, and I love’em. You guys ROCK!
