Repair In SW Virginia

Posted by Gene54 on June 25, 2017 at 06:00:27:
Hello again to all my fellow inmates, its been a while since my last post.

Any inmates in the SW, Virginia (Blacksburg)area know of a competent repair person in the area?

A few months ago I hit the power button on my preamp and was greeted with a loud "BANG" followed by an equally loud squeal out of all speakers. Unfortunately even though I quickly hit the power buttons, the damage was already done. My B&K, Ref 7250 amp longer powers up and one of the woofers in my Klipsch SF-1 is toast. I'm figuring what ever cooked in the amp sent a full 6v to the speaker and took put the driver. While I'm very competent at soldering and replacement, I don't know much about trouble shooting to figure out what needs replacing. I would love to find someone who'd let we work with them and learn a bit more about these beasts.

Thanks

Gene
