Definitive technology bp 2000 review drivers#

If they open they ususally don't take any other components with them - with the right test equipment (I highly recommend the DER DE5000 LCR meter) - you can tell which are bad either by carefully looking at them (electrolytics sometimes swell up and pop on the tops or bottoms and leak a thick gooey liquid all over the circuit board - or you can use above mentioned LCR meter and test most of them in circuit using either the capacitance setting (look at cap rating printed on the barrel of cap e.g. Most times with any amp that is approaching 10 years or older - the power supply filter capacitors (Electrolytics) dry out and either open or short.

In my experience (I repair vintage & new Vacuum tube and Solid State amps - instrument and Hi-Fi - for last 22 years) any amp can be repaired - the problem being cost of repair vs what the amp is worth - I own Definitive Technology speakers (love them BTW) 2 x BP200TL, 1 x 3000 CLR, 2 x BP 2004 & 2 x BPX - 7 channels total - 5 of which have built in subwoofers (3 front and side surrounds) - I had a few drivers go bad, 1 subwoofer and an AMP board for sub that was DOA when purchased new.
