    You folks have got me thinking. I think I will try Blue Coral auto upholstery cleaner, as it worked great on car seats.

  I have a pair of 5002 Advents and really like them. I think the tweeters are an improvement over the earlier ones. As for the woofer,I read something about someone comparing the new and old woofers and found them to be close in terms of resistance and other technical details. Think it was posted in classicspeakers.

    Very good. I will keep the tweeter and refoam the woofer. Then later I will rebuild the xover with the latest version shown here, since there is little difference in woofers.

    is one of top to bottom coherency. While the newer tweeter may do better on top, its 1.8k crossover creates more discontinity in terms of directivity to the woofer. The nominal 9.5" cone is attempting to reproduce 7.5" wavelengths at the top of its range.

      Thanks, later I will rebuild the xover with the latest version shown here to accomidate the latest tweeter, since there is little difference in woofers.
