hello everyone need a bit of help with my 604e's

[oface1]

Welcome to the forum,


I would give Bill a call @ GPA and get those 604's boxed up and shipped to him and have him replace both HF diaphragms. I would keep the old working as a spare. Also he will re-mag the speakers too.

Great Plains Audio: Contact Us In the past it was way easier/quicker to get a hold of someone @ GPA by calling, now Tom , who runs this forum picks up the email traffic. I prefer talking over the phone, but that will depend on your time zone, so emailing might be your ticket.

Sounds like your cabs resemble a smaller 612, you are only missing the lower octaves, and you could runs a sub to augment those if your tastes require it.

Good luck,

Very nice except for that Owens Corning. It looks like that old dusty itchy stuff.
Fiberglass dust is very bad for the mechanism. Others may have current recommendations for you..........
