Its a sad day, my SL2s have reached the end after I pressed the + on the volume within Naim App (platform Android) it sent an instruction to the 552 to output full volume for about 3-4 seconds before I could hit the pause button.
When I pressed the + I tapped it twice but the volume just carried on going, even after I pressed the pause button the 552 volume wouldn’t go counterclockwise until I terminated the Naim app !!!
What a f**k up, completely pi55ed off that my SL2s are now redundant as there’s no parts available, it could be the tweeters, crossover who knows!!
The SL2s still work, sound still outputs from the tweeters and main drivers but its lifeless. The SL2s sound like a pair of £50 speakers from Richer Sounds bargain bucket.
I’ve always used my Android mobile to control the volume via the Naim app this is the first time it has happened, no drink involved too!!
It appears the app just carried on sending a clockwise volume instruction for 2-3 seconds then hit max volume on the 552. There was resistance on the 552 pot as I couldn’t manually turn it counterclockwise until I terminated the app.
You say you’re still getting sound from all the drivers, so I’m wondering whether you’ve just damaged the crossovers with the unintended max volume. You may want to contact Darran at Class A for advice as a starting point before giving up on the speakers.
Good luck - I hope you can get them back to full working order.
Well, there’s no speaker dept. any more, obviously. I know that there were still a few drive units I spied on the shelf last time I visited, but whether they are for SL2s, I don’t know - best check with Naim via your dealer.
@Hifiman, The new Scanspeak tweeter can be fitted to the SL2 with some slight modification to the arm. However, if the mid/bass drivers are cooked then it’s down to replacement. If Naim don’t have any left then you could do a lot worse than look for a pair of Credos to take the mid/bass drivers for your SL2s.
Thanks for the suggestions, I will try a pair of SBLs over the weekend on the NAP250, my guess is the 250 will be okay.
I will also call Darran tomorrow and take advice on the PXO.
I would now look into purchasing a pair of new NEAT speakers. You never know, it may well be a blessing in disguise. Anyway, hope you get your SL2 ‘s sorted…
