I have used them several times and the product has always been correct and of good quality. They package their kits nice and neatly in a secure box. Always been good in my experience
Thanks
They’re ok. I live 15 minutes from them. Personally, I recommend simply speakers. You’ll need to take some measurements (from your originals) and then you can find most anything you’re looking for spot-on (regardless of speaker manufacturer). I love being able to see pictures of the surrounds as well as all their dimensions to give you an idea what it will actually be and look like when it arrives. It helps me plan and visualize the outcomes a bit better.

I always use their foam kits when I re-foam Mcintosh ML or XR series speakers for for friends. We started using them when I use to re-foam Cerwin Vega, EPI and RTR speakers. They even made kits for Bose 901's which were a pain in the neck. When business was slow I would help the other guys do speakers. Just like I would do Ampex, Revox, and Tape-athon rebuilds on Saturdays, to make extra money while going to school or in between jobs. If you want to be successful working on commission it doesn't pay to be idle.
I needed surrounds for my Snell E IVs. Audio friends no longer ships to the US. The dimensions of the midwest surrounds were almost identical to the audio friends surrounds so I thought I'd give it a shot. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. The mold or die cutter was clearly worn so the inner ring edge on both surrounds is not smooth. I though maybe it was just some fuzzies that would come off easily but they don't. They are firmly attached. For $45 I expected better. I'll be contacting them tomorrow to see how their customer service is. I've attached pics.
