Hi,

I have a pair of Wharfedale Super12 RS DD full range drivers from the 60's. The cones and surrounds are in very good shape,but the voice coil formers are made of paper and are starting to tear(may have been overdriven with high power amps at some point).This causes distortion at higher volumes.

Can you replace the voice coils without damaging the cones and surround? The surround is cloth impregnated with some damping material.

Hi Rajeev,
I think I had seen that speaker long time back, anyways how did you find out the coil former is damaged, had you pulled out the cone assembly ?.
If the cone apex is not brittle due to aging, I can change the voice coil without damaging the cone.
