RESTORATION

The term “affection” normally refers to people (or living beings in general), but by extending its meaning with a touch of freedom, it can also refer to all those special objects, those that bring us joy and keep us company, those that regularly receive our care and attention, those that—when something doesn’t work or no longer appears as it should—concern us.

This is exactly what happens—we witness it every day—to all Diapason speakers’ owners when their “babies” end up being damaged and they turn to us for assistance.

Diapason speakers are mostly made of solid wood. As is well known, given its intrinsic biological nature, solid wood is a living material: it interacts with its surroundings and transforms over time, even after being cut and processed. It is also characterized by a certain degree of resilience, meaning the ability to absorb energy and elastically deform before returning to its original shape.

Some researchers even claim that wood has a sort of “memory” of the stresses it has endured, and that this individual history also influences its behavior over time. It’s easy to understand how each solid wood cabinet has a soul that makes it unique and unrepeatable.

At Diapason, we’ve accumulated a wealth of experience that allows us to offer to passionate owners of our historic speakers the opportunity for meticulous and painstaking restoration. This isn’t just ordinary maintenance, but the ability to bring to a new life into our historic creations. Only the surgical expertise and skilled hands of our master craftsmen can breathe new life into the wood of your beloved Diapason speakers.

Even ordinary maintenance—which we offer on all Diapason models produced to date—is far from a standard service: it involves maintaining a vast and comprehensive spare parts warehouse, even for items built decades ago. We’re proud to point out that you won’t find many of our competitors able to offer you a comparable service. A Diapason speaker is an investment for life. Contact us for a quote.
