Simply Speakers refoam kits

astouffer · 27th November 2011, 03:36 PM

Has anyone bought a refoam kit from Simply Speakers - Official Speaker Repair Page - Speaker Parts and Repair Service ? They claim their kits don't require removing the dust cap and shimming. Any thoughts?

I picked up a pair of late Advent 5002s from the trash and they sound great but need refoamed badly.

I have purchased from them before, and received what I ordered; they seem legit to me.

It was my first attempt at replacing foam surrounds... it worked and the speakers sound fine. Although I do not think the reworked drivers are good as new, it was a decent way to get more life out of an older/damaged driver.
