Horizontalste Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Can anyone recommend a new driver for a Bergantino ex1/12? I've been looking at Eminence but there are many to choose from.

Dood Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 You'd be better off in the long run going to Bergantino for the driver. You *can* stick any old speaker in to a cabinet and make it fit, but the right speaker has had the cabinet designed to get the best out of it. I suppose on top of that, you have a cabinet of epic tonal proportions, but you want to throw a generic speaker in it? Yikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBunny Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Or get the driver fixed at Wembley Loudspeakers. Likely to be the cheapest option and it will be the original driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizontalste Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Thanks for all the input chaps :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'd start with Bergantino. Wembley loudspeakers are good but this is a custom unit so they will probably have to go to Berg to source one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizontalste Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 So I realised that the terminal on the speaker sub-frame had come lose & created a short, I have no idea how I missed it on first inspection but there you go. It was attached with a small rivet and had just liberated itself, I've drilled it out & re-attached it using a screw. So if your Berg starts sounding somewhat off it might be worth checking the terminal. Cheers folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
