The True Sound of Classic JBL D110F's May be But a Memory Some Day!
So, I got a pair of original JBL D110F 10" speakers a while back. And I noticed the kits in them were a lot more basic than a person may think. I was hoping to recone them, because they had a bad rub... they ALL seem to have bad rubs at this late date, if they have original kits. But that's the...- sean sweeney

Hi, just acquired a pair of Altec 755e drivers. Unfortunately both cones are severely damaged. Speakers both sound fine, coils apparently good. Question is, can I replace just the cones? Any input or advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.- jackson

"Reconed" vs "Refoamed"
I've seen many posts where someone refers to a speaker being "reconed", even though the discussion is about replacing the foam surrounds, which I thought was termed a "refoam". Are the terms interchangeable? I always thought a "recone" would be replacing the cone and the surround. In fact... -
