A month long strike crippled the Canadian Post system. The large backlog of mail and parcels will delay new deliveries. Please allow more tiem for delivery when selecting shipment to Canada because of this.

The prices for receiving a bank transfer from Switzerland have increased so much (EUR 6,- / 12,- per transfer) that we are forced to disable bank transfers for 'normal orders'. You can still pay for those orders by Mastercard or Visa card (free of charge) or by PayPal (with a surcharge).

Now available: original B&W woofer for CM10S2 and CMCENTRE2S2. For those with a broken surround, we also have the right rubber surround for woofer repair.

After a long wait, we expect to finally receive parts for the B&W CM series this week. We expect the woofer for the CM8 (LF01076), the CM9 / CMs1 (LF02177) and the CM10 (LF26190).

Today this website was inaccessible due to an error in the FTP handling. The entire website was temporarily taken offline to fix the problem. The problem has now been fixed. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Today this website was unreachable due to an error in the SSL handling. Because a secure (SSL) connection could not be established, no connection at all was possible. This problem has now been resolved. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

A number of you have been waiting for almost a year for replacement parts for the B&W CM series, specifically the woofers for the CM8 and CM10 speakers (LF01076 & LF26190). We have been informed by B&W that the first batch has been produced and that we will receive the new parts in the first delivery. We therefore expect to be able to deliver these woofers soon, hopefully this month.

Our web server was down for a while, making this website and associated mail server inaccessible. The problem has now been resolved (03:06 AM GMT time). Apologies for the inconvenience.

Starting September 1st we have to charge our Finnish customers 25.5% VAT as per the changed Finnish law on taxation. The current setting of 24% will be used until August 31st.

Parts for Jamo S7-25F and S7-27F speakers from the Studio7 series are now available.

We have managed to get our hands on a number of (passive) Beolab Penta loudspeakers. We have tested all the loudspeaker parts, and where necessary, overhauled them ourselves. We will soon offer these parts on this website.

Over the past 24 hours, several customers have informed us that they were unable to place an order. When completing an order, they received the message 'the shopping cart is empty' after which the order was not processed and they returned to the homepage of this website.

We have carried out a number of tests and carried out a repair and the problems appear to have been resolved. The first customers reported to us that the problem has been resolved. If you are still having problems placing an order, please contact us. Sorry for the inconvenience.

B&W has again increased the prices of a number of parts. Unfortunately, we are forced to pass on these price increases to our customers. These price increases will be implemented in the coming weeks, when newly ordered parts arrive.

Our ferrofluid for tweeters is available again, starting tomorrow.

We are very sorry to announce all letter post we shipped to Norway in April and May was refused by Norwegian customs, even when we included the legal paperwork. Since Norwegian customs no longer allows us to ship small orders by (cheap) letter mail we are forced to stop this service and from now on we will only offer pre-notified 'letterbox' mail to Norway. This means shipping costs for small orders wil go up considerably. We are very sorry for the inconvenience, but we are forced to do so by Norwegian customs.

We have been able to source a number of spare parts for the Wharfedale Diamond 12.0 speaker. The parts are immediately available (limited) from stock.

Now available: a rubber surround for Wharfedale Diamond 12 (D-1296) woofer. The surround can be found here.

Unfortunately, our ferrofluid for tweeters is temporarily unavailable. We expect to be able to deliver the ferrofluid again in two to three weeks. The ferrofluid delivered to us turned out to contain leaking vials, hence the delay.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Most silk dome tweeters have a coating, a sealing layer. This sealing layer ensures that the dome is airtight and can therefore produce sound. Over time, cracks or holes can develop in this layer, causing the dome to no longer be airtight. This is evident in a lower volume for the high tones. When the dome is carefully cleaned and a new layer of coating is applied, the problem is resolved. This coating is suitable for this.

In addition to ferrofluid for tweeters, we now also offer a ferrofluid for midrange speakers. This ferrofluid provides slightly higher damping than the ferrofluid for tweeters and is suitable for most midrange speakers.

Today we tried to fix a few minor errors in the software by updating the software. Unfortunately, the new software contained a larger bug, and we have rolled back the update. Then a number of settings had to be changed manually. During this period of updates and changes, it was unfortunately not always possible to place an order. The order email was not sent, or the order page was not loaded.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

From now on, available on request, special rubber surrounds for the VIFA P13SG-03 and P13SH-21 midwoofers.

With immediate effect we can be reached by telephone again and we have access to WhatsApp again.

Due to renovations, orders placed on February 12 and 13 will not be processed until February 14. If your order is urget, please place your order on February 10 or 11, these orders will still be shipped on February 12. Orders placed on February 12 and 13 will most likely not be shipped until February 14. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We are temporarily unavailable by telephone and WhatsApp. We apologize for the inconvenience. We can be reached by e-mail.

We have determined the shipping costs for 2024, we will use the same shipping costs as in 2023. The growth in shipments largely compensates for the increased costs.

Due to the large volumes of (Christmas) mail, delays are reported both within the Netherlands and for international deliveries. Do you take into account a longer shipping time than normal?

Today a problem occurred several times, lasting a few minutes, with both our web and mail servers. As a result, both this website and the e-mail address for orders were temporarily unavailable. The problem should now be resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience.

For the (lucky) owners of a B&W speaker with a Continuum cone FST midrange driver, we have created a manual on how to replace the midrange driver yourself. The manual can be found here.

We have received the new replacement tweeter for the B&W 683, 684 and 685. This tweeter is supplied without the front plate and must be screwed onto the screw plate from the rear with two screws.

The front plate is secured in the speaker cabinet with pins (pegs).

The tweeter can be found here.

In the meantime, after a software update, all payment methods are available again.

Due to an unknown reason, only the payment method 'bank transfer' is currently available. We are trying to resolve this problem as soon as possible. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

The B&W tweeter HF00655, used in the 683, 684 & 685, is no longer available.

B&W will come up with a replacement tweeter, but it is supplied without the characteristic front plate. As soon as we have more information, we will post it here.

We apologize for the inconvenience in recent weeks.

As of today, we have a foam surround for the Harman Kardon GLA-55 woofer in our range.

Yesterday the server on which this website runs broke down. In all haste, a backup was restored to another machine. That has resulted in a number of problems. Most problems have now been resolved. A problem still exists: when you order you will receive an e-mail with the sender 'Keizerfazant 29'. The email you receive is legitimate, despite the odd sender. We are currently looking for a solution to this problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

In the night of July 30, another malfunction occurred, this time in a DNS server, and this site was unavailable for some time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Due to a faulty network router (according to our provider), our webshop was temporarily unavailable on July 25. It was also not possible to receive or send e-mail messages. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We have published two new manuals. One manual explains how a JBL Atlas woofer can be completely overhauled, the other shows how an 'inverted' foam surround is placed on an 8 inch Wharfedale woofer.

At the request of many (foreign) customers, we have opened the option to pay with Visa and Mastercard credit cards. Since the costs for these payments are approximately 4% for us, we charge a surcharge for these payment options.

As of July 1, 2023, PostNL will increase a number of rates for business users. We have decided not to pass on these increases to our customers for the time being.

Unfortunately, B&W no longer supplies the ZZ12467 (CM2 / CM4 woofer / mid) and the ZZ10531 (N803 / N804 midrange). We still have a very limited stock of the ZZ12467.

We will soon change the e-mail address we use for orders to orders@speakerrepairshop.nl. With this we hope to reduce the number of cases that your order is delivered to your SPAM folder.

We will keep the old address open for the time being.

We already had a foam surround in our product range for the JBL Atlas woofer, but now the spiders of this famous woofer are also starting to fail. The spider is the part that attaches the coil and cone to the speaker frame.

With this spider, and the matching foam surround, most JBL Atlas woofers can be overhauled.

Our range of B&W parts has been expanded with a number of parts for the B&W 700 S2 series. For example, we have included a tweeter grille, a woofer, a tweeter, a midrange speaker and a number of rubber edges for this series in our range. The items are now available. The rubber edge is produced in-house, B&W does not supply these parts.

Now available by popular request: fabric dust cap with a diameter of 50 mm. This dust cover has been used in dozens of different loudspeakers. This cover can also replace foam dust covers (used in Philips woofers, for example).

We have received a number of spare parts for the popular Wharfedale EVO4 series, these are available from today.

The tweeter for the B&W CDM1NT, CDM7NT & CDM9NT is unfortunately no longer available, both as a separate tweeter and as a tweeter with housing. The tweeter of the CDMCNT (the center speaker from the series) can serve as a replacement, we currently have this on order.

On request, we have included the woofer and tweeter for the B&W Zeppelin Wireless in the product range. They are available now.

We have included a number of spare parts for the JBL Arena series in our product range. They are available while supplies last.

Do you know we also provide loads of companies with speaker parts? For business to business orders we have special wholesaleprices for several non branded products like surrounds, dust-caps etc etc. Our wholesaleprices are valid for orders of 50 pcs or more and discounts as high as 30% are possible for B2B orders. You can contact us for more details.

On request, we have included a special foam surround in our product range for the Sony SAT 8-927-258-00 woofer. The foam surround is available from now on.

Due to a failed update, this website has been unavailable for several hours today. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Starting from today we are connected to the EPS payment network. Transfers using EPS are now possible.

Starting from today we are connected to the SOFORT payment network. This means customers from the eight countries supported by this network can pay using SOFORT from now on.

The special rubber surround for the Wharfedale Diamond 9.5 midrange driver (17159) is also available from now on. It has exactly the same specifications as the original but is made of more durable rubber.

The following B&W parts are no longer available. We have received one or a few pieces of some, but as soon as these are sold out, we can no longer deliver them.

ZZ14142 HTM7 tweeter (unfortunately we no longer have stock)

HF00337 XT2/XT4 tweeter

ZZ12947 DM60x S3 tweeter black

Several B&W P6 owners have successfully used the B&W PM1 tweeter as a replacement for the original (discontinued) P6 tweeter. The B&W PM1 tweeter (HF01007) is currently back in limited supply.

Specially made by popular demand, a rubber surround for the much acclaimed Wharfedale Diamond 9.5 woofer. Now available.

Yesterday we received our first shipment of parts from B&W in the new year. Depending on the type of part, B&W has increased prices by 10-20% due to the increased prices of energy, semi-finished products and transport. Unfortunately, we are forced to pass on the increased prices. You will therefore see the prices of the B&W parts rise in the near future. We expect that this will also apply to parts from other brands.

Since 2020, it has been formally prohibited to send goods as letter post. All goods must be sent as a parcel, or as a letterbox parcel. This applies to all shipments, worldwide.

Since 2020, PostNL has always argued that these rules would not be enforced by PostNL and that goods sent as letters would not be 'blocked'. The thumbscrews have now been tightened more strongly and in a number of cases PostNL's machines are able to 'recognize' goods as letter mail. In those cases, the letter post will be returned to us, or we will be charged an additional fee + fine.

This means that with effect from 1 January 2022 we feel compelled to drastically limit the number of letter mail items. Only goods that are not easily recognizable as goods (small loudspeaker surrounds, tinselwire, that sort of things) will be sent as letters and in small numbers only - as long as we succeed. We will only send all other items as letterbox package from 1 January. Please note letter mail to the UK was on its' way out already because UK customs want us to pre-notify them of any shipment with goods coming from the EU.

We apologize for the inconvenience and increased shipping costs.
