Hi there fellow enthusiasts.
I've just got a pair of SL3s in my living room, replacing two pairs of extremely efficient 'box' speakers (Kelly KT2) at the front. The result is a mixed bag, but I'm not giving up so early I've got tow-in, tilt and acoustic interventions still to try.
They are driven by Musical Fidelity X-A200 monoblocks, a one-off pair made with extra output resistors (as I found out accidentally at their factory!)
The bass being wooly and hazy, I thought I'd check if the woofers are loose, so I tried to take the side trim out with the mallet, using the pdf from this site (referring to Sequels though).
No way, they wouldn't budge more than half an inch max. So I stopped banging and pushed them back until I verify what is wrong.
They should move from the bottom upwards, right? Is there anything holding them into place apart from friction?
I am an auto entusiast and have lots of tools, so when I feel that I was using excessive force, it probably was over the top. I don't want to break something.
