Default Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.

At least in the high-end speaker market most of the competition is no less repairable now than it ever was. So if repairability is an issue for customers they have plenty of alternatives to choose from (that said, fixing an aluminium-wired voicecoil was never easy, and finding a surround with exactly the same compliance as the original, but now perished, one could be a challenge too).

While we're trying to pick holes in the Phantom I should also mention that it depends on a good deal of digital technology and associated software, often being controlled via a phone app. I have heard reports that, like all software, the Phantom's can have its flaky moments, and when they happen no-one knows why. You could try the software 'engineer's' usual approach of switching them off and switching them back on again, of course.

Cheers,

GJ
