Recomended amplifier for tr 2800 - Theater Research TR-2800 Main / Stereo Speaker

take it all apart or unscrew speakers from outside

try AE.... in Schagen, Netherlands they build new transformers and did a good and cheap job on my PT

A strand copper cable in clean condition, a guage from 10-16AWG will suffice. Choose a solid state amplifier with a high damping factor, preferably no less than 100 and able to operate with low distortion with up to 100 watt loads.

I see that these have a side firing driver so keep in mind there placement distance from side walls; going too close may give a bloomy or boomy sound.

No, these are passive speakers that need to be driven by a power amplifier

Pass on them. There are are better loud speakers out there for that price.

that sounds like an internal connection problem, try getting inside the unit to where the internal wiring is connected, if you have signal coming through well thats a big plus, see if there are any loose wires or if the internal connection is damaged, would probably pay to replace the complete terminal, should be able to pick up XLR connections fairly easily from any electronic spare part dealer, trouble with this type of gear is that the connector is continually being used, so over time they do wear out or suffer damage

No thank you

40 watt

all setting is on the amp

sounds as though the transformer is bad
