As per the instructions from the inmates, all sorts of interchanges were tried. Finally found from keeping my ear close to the woofers and tweeters that speaker No 2 had a dead tweeter. I am surprised that it made that much difference to the total volume. It is difficult to tell if it is absolutely dead or some little hiss is coming from it. If it is totally dead, perhaps some connection inside is come off or something , to be optimistic about it. I like my Boston Acoustics CS 26 speaker but there are no service men here and no parts available. A new tweeter could be ordered from Parts Express? I dont dare do these repair works myself.

With tinnitus and loss of hearing of the right ear, fate is leading me to a mono future. Perhaps I must go for one Tannoy Westminster speaker or more realistically, one KEF LS50.

You guys are so helpful. Thanks.
Bill
