Good evening,
I just bought a pair of JMlab/Focal DB30 speakers with inverted tweeter and decayed foam ring. Now is the foam ring not a problem I guess. And this JMlab, some older Kevlar tweeters shall be without Ferro fluid.
But now comes the real question. A friend of mine bought a - not that old - Avalon speakers with.. Focal inverted tweeters. I heard these speakers (2-way) and like to buy these to. Now the 1 million dollar question: Does anybody knows if there are Focal/JMlab inverted tweeters (with foam ring) made with Ferro fluid? This because Ferro fluid might dry up, and placing of a new foam ring in the future might give problems.
Thanks in advance for your response,
Best regards,
Edwin

Never heard of Focal using Ferro in a tweeter, but I am not their scholar.
I do recommend replacing the Focal/Solen caps with Mundorf MKP though, as well as a FELT ring around them.
