Sansui S-57 Speakers

[swoose]

I have a set of Sansui S-57 speakers that are around 20 to 25 years old. They really blast. I love them. My problem is the foam rubber that holds the Woofer cone has dry rotted. I am considering replacing the Woofers. What I would like to know is:
1- Can they be replaced?
2- How hard will this be to do?
3- What should I replace the old Woofer with to get the same quality of sound?
By the way, they are powered by a Onkyo Amp, and run through a BSR EQ-3000. Everything here is at least 20 years old and I haven't heard anything that will beat it yet.

Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, if the cones and voice coils are good, why not refoam them, it's inexpensive, and not hard to do. See this thread for some enlightenment, good luck!!

I have a pair of S-57s and I love them...although when I got them the original woofers were gone... and a set of radio shack 12s had been poorly installed... I took the time to install them properly and sealed them well..
They came alive!!! The RS 12s had a bottom end of 27hz and a spl 90 at 50watts rms. A perfect match... I use them as my mains... on my A/V ... running an onkyo. The hit very well.. solid at 32hz
