Ambrose, I happen to have come by a pair of Wharfdale Teesdale SP2's via Reading's wonderful second hand shops - except one of the woofers' cones has seen better days. The cone has become detached from the speaker casing/membrane at it's peripherary - i.e. looks like someone has abused it using it for guitar practice or something. What's the best plan for getting it fixed ? I was going to phone Wharfdale direct....but sounds like you may know better routes. Ideally, I'd like to get the pair checked out to see if any more damage has been done to them but initially all I need is a fully functional second speaker. With one woofer out, they sound great even with my tacky JVC midi system. Having just moved house, to be fixed very shortly. I'd love to hear them restored to their (presumably mid 1970's ?) former glory. Any technical/historical information on them would be much appreciated. All I need then is something half-respectable to drive them with... Any info much appreciated.
