Hi folks,
I have a pair of the little Falcon speakers, unfortunately the couple of wires attaching the board to the terminals came loose. Is there anyone that wouldn't mind doing a quick solder job? I've no experience and fear messing up on first go. I'm based in south Dub but happy to come to yours of course. Thanks.
I could help here. Ill send on a PM

Soldering speakers can be tricky. I had a pair of Tangent TM1's years ago which blew one of the Kef mid/bass units. I ordered a replacement from Peter Dand, (remember him?) and, like the idiot that I am, decided to upgrade the wiring from the crossover to the speakers in each cabinet, and to solder the cable at both the crossover and speaker terminals.
I completely forgot to use a clamp as a heat sink and burned out the speaker coils on both speakers. Straight back on to Peter Dand to order another pair once I figured out what I'd done.
