Hi All,
Is it possible to replace the speakers inside this iMac? Or are they part of another part within it?
Cheers,

Sy Slater, you did not tell us which model, so I used the one listed as your device. Yes, the speakers can be replaced individually:"
Left Speaker
Tools
Torx T10 screwdriver•
Preliminary Steps
Before you begin, remove the:
Access door•
Glass pane• l
Front bezel•
LCD display panel•
Part Location
Removing the Left Speaker
1. Using a T10 torx screwdriver, remove the long screw from the left speaker.
2. Disconnect the speaker from the audio board. The speaker cable runs under the black plastic cable guide (above the memory slot) and connects to the audio board on the right side of the logic board. Lift the speaker out of the rear housing.
Right Speaker
Tools
Torx T10 screwdriver•
Preliminary Steps
Before you begin, remove the:
Access door•
Glass pane• l
Front bezel•
LCD display panel•
Part Location
Removing the Right Speaker
1. Remove the T10 screw from the right speaker. Replacement Note: The shorter of the two speaker mounting screws is used to secure the right speaker; the longer screw secures the left speaker.
2. Disconnect the speaker cable from the audio board.
3. Pull it up and out of the computer assembly." from the service manual
Hope this helps, good luck.

Hey thanks oldturkey03, much appreciated for your fast response. Can the speakers be purchased from ifixit too? And from the new European store?
Thanks again
