Hi there
Im having the same blown speaker problem. Is there a way to glue ir back or refoam and what do I need for that…hlue rubber foam?
Thanks
Great question… the face plate was attached with an adhesive, so I would imagine you could probably get away with using strips of some good double sided tape. Super glue would possibly be a good choice, as well, as long as you’re sure the face plate is aligned right when you reattach it.
I have a second pair of Z-10 und would like to exchange the wire joining the two speakers for a modern, better sounding high quality cable from e.g. Audioquest- without damaging the system.What´s your opinion about this experiment?
Thanks
That’s an intriguing question. When the speakers worked, I found them to have a nice, high fidelity sound. However, considering that they are consumer grade speakers, with fairly cheap components, I’m not sure how much of a difference new wires would make. I certainly can’t rule out that it might make a slight difference but, in my opinion, I’d only undergo such a project as a test – as a fun, weekend project.
A bit late of a question, but I want to extend the wire joining the two speakers to fit my 4 monitor desk. Any suggestions mate?
It’s been so long I forget – is there a single, permanent cable that runs between the two speaker housings and there’s then a master cable coming out of a housing, which plugs into the audio source? Or does each housing have a cable coming out of it, and the two cables join together before you plug it into the audio source?
Hi, thanks for the post, look forward to trying it.
One of my speakers is making a rattling sound, wonder if is blown like your one. If it is blown, can it be repaired/replaced?
Thanks
Jay, I don’t see any reason why you wouldn’t be able to replace the problematic speaker, as it’s connected with two, standard, slide connectors. If you really enjoy the sound quality, you could probably find a salvageable pair on eBay and swap the speaker that rattles. Otherwise, it might be more effort than it’s worth to further troubleshoot and potentially recone something of that size. Thanks for the question, and best of luck.
Hi! Hope you’re still around to see my post. The tweeter in the richt speaker (with the lcd) doesn’t produce any sound. It faded (with some crackling) over the course of a week. But there doesn’t seem to be any loose or broken wiring and the cone looks undamaged.
Is there a way to test if the tweeter is working? And if it does, is there a way to determine the issue?
Also, could I get a tweeter to replace the broken one with? Logitech never distributed them and I can’t find someone offering an old z10.
Hi, Bart. Sorry for the delay. I got rid of those speakers long ago. Unfortunately, if there doesn’t appear to be any loose connections, and you aren’t able to find replacement parts – used or new – I can’t think of any other options that might help troubleshoot that situation!
I have this speakers and they still work… but i have a problem now. The bass is gone… i don’t know what to do…. they sounded so great 😦
