Looking for Misc Audio Deals of the Day? Updated info here!

That is interesting. Not too difficult. I had planned to take them to a guy in Ft Mill, SC that I bought my RTA12's from. Life got in the way and I've lost his contact info.

My friend's AR TSW410s had 8" and 6" speakers that needed surrounds.

The re-foaming jobs were just like the big ones but less space UNDER the cone to get finger tips in to compress the cone to the new surround. And there was less space around the pole piece compared to a 12" woofer but they turned out great. Oh, these cones were cleaned so well by another friend that there was no old glue line on the cone to go by. I carefully and slowly drew a pencil line on the cone with the new surrounds in place with no glue yet. The guide lines turned out to be to small and I caught it quickly before putting pressure on the glued surround. I adjusted accordingly and no glue had oozed beyond the surround rim yet. I got lucky and learned a lesson.

I still don't know why the marker lines were too small in diameter...They should've been spot-on.

Patience, precision and in the end of each glue down, keep checking to see if the cone is rubbing the pole piece or coil. I think out of a bunch of re-foam jobs, I only had one 12" cone I had to pull in one direction to align it better.

If you follow that guys method in that video, most people will have success unless you don't have patience.

Note: There was a gasket UNDER the rim on the AR's 8" woofer. I studied the new surround and felt taking the gasket off aligned the speaker's surround's level to the basket rim better. There's talk about leaving the gasket on and / or removing it. and The owner of those AR TSW410's and I studied the situation thoroughly before removing the gasket. We feel we did the right thing.

Patience and go slow. I highly recommend not trying to do both sides in the same day. Give it an over night rest and you'll be rewarded.

I agree100%.

I sometimes cleaned one day, then rested.

The next morning, glue surrounds to the cones.

Then, maybe the same night, glue the cone and surrounds to the frames or wait another day.

The ARs in the pic. were glued to both the cone and then the frame the same day AFTER about 5 or 6 hours after the surrounds were glued to the cones first.

I know EPI got great reviews back then. I had chances to buy EPI's at many yard-sales LONG AGO but passed them up due to rotten surrounds.

Those remind me of Polk's older SDA-CRSs with 2 tweeters but of course, I know, maybe it's the size of the box with 2 woofers and 2 tweeters on the faces thing.

Not sure that it's a steal at min. bid $200 but very interesting M&K S1 Sattelite speakers pair with the Peerless Tweeters. Without the subwoofer apparently. No affil.

Yeah they are! I only recently became aware. Apparently that model came out in 1978 and it is hard to find details on them but some rave reviews on forums. They may be the originators of the sattelite/subwoofer concept. The SV-200 is very interesting and I'm putting in a saved search. 18Hz to 20,000Hz +/- 3dB with a powered subwoofer built in with 200W amplifiers.

My wife told me no earlier already.

It is different isn't it.

I've never seen this Kenwood model. A 2piece speaker. 15" passive.

That was my first thought!

There has to be a port connecting them or the owner doesn't know what he/she has.

I'm going to the web on this right now. Yup, a huge portal between the two cabinets.
