Hi I am not getting good base sound out of my LS 70, What I did to make sure that it was in the LS 70 is i had the Rt 150's right next to this speaker and just switch over to this speaker and I get sound but very low to to barely audible, I am using two wire to Four wire hookup ( Can't remember is that Bi Wire or Bi Amp) the rest sound great.
This is in only one speaker. Help Me Ken

Bi-wire, and IMO you are wasting your time with that. It seems to me with the information given that you may want to check the internal wiring leading to the woofer on that one speaker. Start there and then get back to us.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

Basically there is very little sound coming from the woofer, Yes I did try the other side of the amp and different wires, by biwiring I could Isolate Base sounds.

to help you isolate the speaker problem. try this.. use regular speaker wire.. and not the biwire... and see if the results are the same. when you do that.. make sure you have the metal strap between the binding posts in place... or else you won't get any bass.
once you do that and if the results are the same.. then it may be a bad woofer. .. or a crossover problem.PolkFest 2012, who's going>?

well I pulled the speakers out and found that there was some corrosion on them not much, cleaned the pins off and put them back in. Fired them up and now I havegood sound but at moderate to high volume they start to vibrate hard and sound blown.
I can't find any damage to them they look great.
I guess I will most likely have to replace them, any ideas they are MW 8100's
could there be something I can do to correct these without replacing them?
Is it possible to wire them backwords? -
Doesn't sound like it, however unless one is there in person to evaluate......diagnosis can be difficult.Nisqually Dave wrote:could there be something I can do to correct these without replacing them?
Sounds like you compromised the coils.Nisqually Dave wrote:Fired them up and now I havegood sound but at moderate to high volume they start to vibrate hard and sound blown.
Yes, but they would just be out of phase.Nisqually Dave wrote:Is it possible to wire them backwords?~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -
Well talked with Ken today, found out that one set of speakers were changed at some point, The originals were 8101's which are in one speaker and the other speaker has 8103's, They are now using 8103's as an upgrade will pick some up in the future.
