I sent a speaker in to Speakerex to get reconed. I received a call today from a very eloquent person explaining what the charges would be and asking for approval. The problem was that it didn't sound like my speaker. In fact, he was describing a different speaker. He then correctly described mine and explained what needed to be done.

The speaker I sent in has a permanent magnet and the transformer is attached. He kept saying that it was a fieldcoil speaker. He said that it was called that because the transformer was attached.

I'm sure they'll do a good job of reconing it. But, I was concerned that they kept referring to it as a fieldcoil speaker. He said he had six years experience and the tech who referred to it as a field coil, twenty years.

Am I off base? Is a speaker with an attached transformer commonly referred to as a fieldcoil speaker even if there is no fieldcoil?
