Some rubber surrounds are of poor construction, materials quality, and fabrication and some are not and the same is true of foam.
Refurbishing 1973 Large Advent speaker
I am refurbishing a pair of large Advent speakers from 1973. The tweeters and cross overs work, but the woofers are garbage replacements. My question is... Is it better to buy a 2nd hand 1975 original woofers and roll the dice on them or buy a pair of new replacements from simply speakers? Say they are the same price... is there enough magic in the originals to warrant the risk?
