Proac tweeter issue


hello , I purchased a used pair of proac response 2.5 a few weeks ago . The tweeters seem to be working fine but the "foam" or whatever it is around the tweeter has darkened in some spots.Looks wet in some spots. I rubbed my finger against it to feel if it was a liquid.The foam basically disinigrated in the affected areas ? When i insected them at the previous owners house they were not this way . Ant ideas ? I thought i read about the tweeters being surrounded in a liquid ? could they have been damaged from the car ride to my house . Just curious ?

Are you seriously suggesting that the diffraction foam on a ScanSpeak tweeter somehow is "different" if ScanSpeak supplies said tweeter to Proac :-) :-) :-)

Thats just too funny, and exactly one of the things I refer to as "magic" that folks are led to believe. LOL

Good Listening

Pbnaudio, I did not suggest that at all. It is something you managed to create in your own mind. This is exactly why I love to see commercial users here. You think you know more than the rest of us lowly members.

The fact is the original ProAc tweeter foam has ProAc written in it which will restore the speaker to its original condition.

"they aren't just there for looks" was what made me jump to that assumption, that and the fact that "snake oil" is so rampant in this industry.

Good listening

I seen the foam from Madisound does not have proac labeled on it . I would much rather have the speakers in original condition . Has this discoloration happened to any of you ?
Pbnaudio, I can assure you I am 100% anti-snake oil. You are correct about snake oil being rampant in the industry. I was recently reminded of the guy that could improve the sound of your system through the phone. I also remember the Kinergetics KCD-40 I bought used many years ago that was filled with little green flakes from a product call Stop Light. Even today, I am a stickler for original power cords. Oh, I have tried after market power cords and I hear the difference. However, I am a purist in the sense that I want to hear equipment the way it was intended to be heard and if a given piece of equipment does not sound right in my system a $2,000 power cord is not going to fix it.
