QUOTE(Zhe Xia @ Oct 4 2020, 12:13 AM) Go to Wharfedale UK website, check dealers, global distributors, doesn’t seems to have Malaysia dealer. But there is a Singapore dealer. Otherwise I bought Wharfedale EVO 4.4 already instead of Acoustic Energy AE309. There is a Malaysian distributor. Style Laser and Choy Audio are selling the Wharfedale Evo range. But no demo available.

This one? https://m.tb.cn/h.4plxJx4?sm=dd85daBut if you buy from Taobao, it's risky as the driver could be damaged during transportation. Worse case buy extra 1 unit for standby...

QUOTE(yehlai @ Oct 29 2008, 12:52 AM) Wharfy 9.1 not bad, price range is arround RM850-900 and cheapest i quote is RM800. From Desa Audio LYP, i was 3 months ago. All audio stuff's price hike recently, but you can try to get some 'old' stock. Dont forget to put Tannoy Mercuru MX1 in your shotlist too, my 2 cents  You have quite some choices for around 1k budget. including DALI spektor 1 or 2. or Misson MV-DS (CMY letting go at quite good value). Q-acoustics. So ultimately is you choose what you like.

Shopee ada, but make sure to measure properly don't just take manufacturer's specs such as 5.25" or 6.5". Another thing to note is if you change the woofer cone then it will not be the same as the other speaker due to material type, stiffness, etc. Best solution is to buy the entire driver and change. Can probably find it in Ebay but depends on luck whether you can find one and whether the price is worth it to you.

Generic/typical speakers will not fit.

Or the foam/rubber surround that koyak? If the foam/rubber surround, can buy the parts or find shop to repair it. Don't have any recommendation though.

Don't have any recommendation though. that what I though too. I had the rubber replaced. But then it had these cracking sound. I believe the coil got damaged as well.

Better find shop that do speaker repair so that they can properly assess it. If you just simply change to any other driver it would not sound same as the original driver.

No way to use a generic driver there. Your only hope is to go to a shop that can rewind the motor coil if necessary and fix the spider properly. The chances are that the rubber surround change was bodged.
