Hello
I have 2 pairs of LS-50's from 1992.
Is there anything I can apply to the woofers and / or rubber surrounds to a) clean them and b) keep them supple from drying out?

    Oh God.... not Armor All!!!

    My SDA's are from '86 and still have 4 of the original 6 drivers. The two that were replaced were because the voice coils had locked on them. I don't feel the need to apply anything to my speakers.

    Well, except when I get drunk and try to "dance" with them.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    +1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Windex will work fine on the drivers though. If the drivers are anything like before and after the LS's, the surrounds are rubber and shouldn't rot out anytime soon, if ever.
