- You might want to consider one of the various foam surround repair kits
- that are advertised in the back of magazines like Audio and Stereo Review.
- I've never tried this approach myself, but it would probably be far
- easier and considerably cheaper than tracking down replacement drivers
- that would match the originals. (For starters, to track down the replacements,
- you'd have to know the specs of the drivers themselves rather than just the
- speaker; Dick Pierce can probably figure out the Theile-Small parameters
- by tapping on them with a fingertip, but you and I aren't so lucky in this
- regard.)
