Wharedale Diamond 9.1 or 220's?

Reality|Bites · 23 Aug 2016 at 20:11

Recently one of the woofers on my 9.1's ripped for some reason, I've looked for a replacement woofer and it seems it's going to cost me £60, I can buy a whole brand new set for £99 these days. Now should I just buy the new set or maybe set my sights on something else?
I'm not looking to spend over £150 here really. I'm now using an old pair of Gale Gold monitors which sound great if you're not in the same room as them, as soon as you stand infront of them they sound very very weak and weedy if you know what I mean?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Someone fix the thread title for me please

If I was looking for something with a bit more punch to the bass while in the same room what would I go for? Even with the 9.1's I always thought they sounded better listening to them from another room. Maybe the living room is just too small? I only live in a small one bed flat.

aaahhhh nearly bought some Monitor Audio MR6's for £279 but my sensible head kicked in and said wait a day or two and see how you feel.

I went for he Wharfedale Diamond 10.1's in the end, not a bad deal for £140.

Yeah maybe i'll find a pair going 2nd hand one day and i'll grab them.
9.2's you say, i'll have to do a little search on them

Can anyone point me to a shop that sells replacement woofer foam?

Would I be looking to do something like this?

Well I've bought a set of 10.1's which will arrive tomorrow, Just something to do to see if I can fix it myself really.
