Thank you. I have done the same. Dropped it from a low height. But damaged the same cap centre. I’m going to take it apart, like you showed. And take it from there. Thank you for a great video. And time taken

Hi! I have one that was dropped and has physical damage to one of the woofers. Any idea where I can get a replacement woofer? I tried e-bay with no luck. Thanks!

I'm disappointed to see this side of Devialet. Now, I'm not surprised that it is own by LVMH (Louis Vuitton) whose only goal is to sell weirdest sh*t as a fashion statement at the most ridiculous prices, they don't give a damn about repairability and much less about getting the repairs done in as less as possible.

They also advertise it as a 3,000 - 4,000 watt unit. In no way is that thing pushing that much power which requires a relatively THICK power cable and/or a beefy power supply.

Hey Ian Rose. I just saw your video that you openned on one side. Mine, there's a knocking on that side when I turned the volume up. Sometimes it will stop then comes back and also the loud knocking, sometimes it wont. Thank you for showing because Id like to open mine but do you have any idea on my case so that maybe I could go directly, with your advice? Thank you in advance. Dennis

Very late answer but here's the answer, knocking means one of the coils of your woofers is rubbing against the woofer's magnet. Most likely your dome is slightly dented.

I don't think the woofers are wired in series rather the system performs a self check and if it notices open or short curcuit on one of the woofers outputs it shuts off the whole output stage

Yeah, they are not wired in series. Devialet always has a dedicated output for their drivers. So it is just like you said that it performs a self check.

I can confirm they have a self check, they will make a small pop sound every few seconds and cannot play any sound until all speakers are present.

I absolutely love the way you busted this myth about the hermetically sealed unit BS lie from Devialet! So typical of the arrogant, elitist French. I needed to see this video. I have some dents in the speaker cap. My fear is I might get an electrical shock if I open it up but maybe the speaker cap pops off if center screw is removed? Not sure if that is glued in place or works with magnets. This is a very poorly designed speaker from a maintenance POV. Such hype about it, a huge ripoff in price, a design from the 1960's - nothing innovative in the design, and impossible to access for minor repairs. Stupidly built, overpriced, hyped up latest fad. I inherited this expensive POS, and fixing it for resale. Nothing this badly designed ever stays in my house. Thanks a lot for your clear video and demo, very much appreciated! Dankie!! There is a Vietnamese repair shop video on KZitem where he uses a multi meter to test continuity in each speaker: kzitem.info/news/bejne/q32wsauhgJyXrGk Maybe this is useful to others. He takes apart the central core, and there are some rubber gaskets in the center sections that once removed (easy) expose the circuitry and chips. No seal apart from those rubber gaskets. Devialet lies to its customers - shameful. So is the planned obsolescence of this poor design.

It works but it has a cut out mechanism at about half volume, probably due to the higher resistance of my soldering.
