The dust cap/cone has come off one of my speakers. What glue should I use to refix it back onto it.

      One of my old wharfedale speakers has finally blown so in the market for some Passive bookshelf speakers price between Ā£2-300 or a decent used set.
      Any recommendations

          I have some Dali Spektor 2. Theyā€™re a bit quiet in the bass area, so would need a sub.

          What Iā€™d really like is some active non-monitor speakers, so I can do away with the amplifier.

            Looking for some foxy wooden ones, slightly retro with black grilles.

            Any ideas where to shop?

              One day I will gift myself a pair of these, proper porno decor

              Dubman ā€¦used is always a bit of a risk with speakers. Not owned them, but the QAcoustics passive bookshelfs get amazing reviews, apparently sound amazing and the walnut ones look like much more expensive speakers than they areā€¦ in your budget too. I think Richer Sounds carry them if you have one anywhere near you.

              mjh ā€¦massively depends on your budget, but if you arenā€™t arsed about them being ā€˜studioā€™ speakers, Iā€™d give the active KEFs a listen, and Iā€™d be tempted to give the Klipsch ā€˜The Sevens/Ninesā€™ a go, solid reviews and look amazing IMO

                      Thanks Damo.
                      Iā€™ll have a look.

                        Dubman I canā€™t express enough my love for Bowers & Wilkins 685 speakers. I have several sets here. Should be within budget second hand, if you can find them locally. Excellent speaker. My PC speakers are actually their smaller brothers, the 686ā€™s and they are excellent.

                          303abuser ā€¦amazing bit of kit, probs overkill for DJā€™ing use tho. Have the same issue with the Zen Delay, sounds incredible but really tricky to tame in a live setting.

                          The UA LEfx has Ā¼ā€ TRS INSERT sockets, plus balanced inputs/outputs on XLR and external power, as well as BPM detection, should work (& sound) great with the Isonoe IMO

                              Unbroken1 Yeah fair enough, just another option to throw money down the pit lol. I still really want a zen delay too.

                                Since I mentioned money pits, I shouldnā€™t have watched this.

                                Unbroken1 Oooooft. That looks sweet. I like the automatic BPM detection too. That was one of the tricky parts I found with the H9 Max. Sounded great for sure. But was a complex beast, and could never get it dialled in just right.

                                Also looking forward to reviews.

                                  Got myself a second hand Denon sc live 4 this weekend. Things have moved a lot since my previous traktor days it would seem. Linked it to SoundCloud so far and impressed I have immediate access to my playlists etc but cue points on first beats are hit and miss and I have no idea what Iā€™m doingā€¦.yet. Itā€™s the perfect unit to just noodle on immediately and the built in speakers are surprisingly punchy. Does anyone use Denon engine DJ want to give me a few starters for ten?
