That should have been obvious when the speakers were new, if they came that way from the factory. Or it may have happened sometime in the period you owned the speakers. If the solder connection between the tinsel lead and the VC was weak to begin with, driving the woofer at heavy excursion at some point may have broken it. It's good that your tech was able to fix it, that's some tricky soldering. The employee who soldered it poorly in the first place is probably some illiterate Chinese peasant earning 25 cents an hour, so these things happen.

Excellent point, I concur Brian.
I had always thought they lacked some bass, but during most music it was'nt that noticeable since they are a 2 1/2 way design. And no they were never over driven, although i like mostly classic rock if i put on anything with heavy sub base i let the subs handle it! But now i definitely detect the other woofer. I'm going to keep using the tube amps for now to see how they sound (that woofer probably is'nt broke in yet), & will eventually try bi-amping with a solid state for the woofers.
> some illiterate Chinese peasant earning 25 cents an hour,
Luckily they do better work than overpaid union people in the USA ... :)
