I am trying to refoam woofers on a pair of Ohm C2's. I bought the foams from simply speakers and have done foam surrounds before. My question is, when I look at these, they appear to have had the foam applied to the front of the cone, and i can't tell if the roll of the foam was concave into...- Confusilated

Sony ULM Speakers
Howdy Y'all, I bought a pair of Sony SS-7200 ULM-2 Speakers to replace my not so interesting Klipsch r51m speakers. I think they are a better match perhaps for my Sony ta-1150 amplifier as they are both from the early '70s (the amp currently needs a recap, it loses a channel but I can get it... -

Have had an old pair of Epi M150s sitting around I’m now getting ready to rebuild. Usual stuff. But, they’re an early version (24746) and have the rubber surrounds. The rubber is shot and needs to go. And I’ll have to strip the gasket. Question: foam, or rubber? And if I go with rubber do I... -

Refoaming problem I cannot fathom
I am refoaming the woofer surrounds on my father-in-law's Boston Acoustics A-60 speakers. I got the kit from Simply Speakers, and the first speaker was a cinch. Sounded just like it did in 1982 when he bought them (on my advice). However, the second speaker went wrong somewhere. I was...- Sax & Guitar

Testing a KEF 103/4
So I’m looking to buy a set of used KEF 103/4 speakers.

I can handle a basic refoam, and refilling the ferro fluid doesn’t seem too crazy; but...- Thomas Oder

"Reconed" vs "Refoamed"
