Hello
I just purchased four rm101 and one rm202 to replace satellites of my Teufel system. I had the problem that on those just 3 year old Teufel speakers the rubber surrounding of the diaphragma breaked off. This is not the first time, it also happened to my much older Denon Speakers, their rubber did in fact desintegrate. Shure it is because of the hot and humid climate here in Southamerica – I did not have this problem before in Europe.

Well, as it seems the rm101 and 202 also have rubber surroundings, I would like to know what you folks from Polk would recommend that I can prevent this to happen again. Should I lay on some oil from time to time? :o
