How to repair speaker surrounds?


I have a pair of 1984 Acoustic Research AR-9LS speakers that have deteriorated speaker surrounds. Each cabinet weighs about 100 lbs., so shipping them off isn't practical. Can I repair them myself? If so, how? Should I attempt to remove the individual speakers from the cabinets and ship them for repair? Does anyone have a recommendation for someone who can replace these surrounds? Any idea how much this would cost?

Go with Bill Legall of Millersound, as Rodman99999 suggested. You can call him at (215) 412-7700.

Some folks try to refoam speakers themselves. Some folks also try to cut their own hair. Since drivers are like tires on a car, where the rubber meets the road and where the audio signal is converted into sound, I consider that a foolish endeavor. Considering the low cost Bill charges, it's a simple decision.
