Oh boy, can't believe it's been almost 20 years. I'm still alive... :D . As are the Sonab OA-5 type 2's by the way... So, those Sonab OA-5's belonged to my dad who bought them new in 1972. I have vivid childhood memories of the late '80's, early 90's of those speakers in the living room loudly playi...

I guess you're right. One of the screws holding the baffle was so tightly screwed in that it was sunken into the baffle about half a centimeter. The wood around the screw also was damaged because of that pressure. I didn't pay attention to it yesterday, but now that you meantion it, it looks like it...

Those Sonabs really have a lot of secrets hidden in their cabinets. Opening the cabinet was a lot easier then I first expected. After unscrewing all ten(!) screws, I could just take it off. But then, after searching the inside, no capacitor or anything that looks like it. On the backside of the baff...

you're probably getting bored by me already, but I still have one stupid question. The capacitors you showed me have a capacity of around 5%. I can't get those. The closest one available here are 4,7 or 5,6. There is one downside on both of them though, they're both 100V, and not 250, but they're st...

I've cleaned these speakers about half a year ago. They were completely dust free again. I just took a close look, and guess what? There's already a thick layer of dust on them again. After quickly whiping the worst off, I could see the screws holding the baffle on it's placed. I always thought that...

Thank you so very much. This is helping me alot. I'll change the capacitors first, see what that helps. After that I'll try and get some replacement tweeters. I hope I can find them. (I live in the Netherlands, and these Sonab speakers are very rare here, probably one of the reasons I'm so attached ...

Thank you very much for your quick reply. The fact that there is no good replacement for the woofer isn't so bad, I wasn't planning on changing it anyway, due to the fact that they still sound good. Now, the tweeters. I wasn't aware of the fact that there are some good replacements for them. If I ca...

I'm the proud owner of a pair of oa-5 type II speakers. Although they've sounded great in earlier days, what they're producing now is far from a natural reproduction of a recording. The bass is still very strong and low and still sounds good. But it has some problems with high-tones. One of the spea...
