As another user pointed out, simply replacing the foam surround at home
will probably not result in anything that sounds good. I have had some
speakers re-coned at Speakerlab, with good results. Cost was significant,
though less than the cost of new speakers, and was worth it in this case
because of the odd characteristics of the speakers. If you decide to
replace the speakers with new units, you could very likely end up with
a better sounding system at more expense and hassle. Speakerlab sells
some high quality speakers and crossovers. They may be ale to match your
boxes exactly, or provide both woofers and crossovers to go with them.
They do a large volume of mail order business. They are certainly not
the cheapest place in town for equivalent quality components, but in
some cases it is worth while to pay a little extra for experience and
technical expertise. They have reasonably technical people available
for phone consultation. I would suggest that you call them and tell
them your situation and get their recommendation on a course of action.
