...I still have the original Light Blue woofers and will get them refoamed when I have some extra cash. The whole reason I grabbed the Burhoes when I saw them, despite owning far too many speakers already, was because I'm a fan of his designs.For the time being, I'll just enjoy these speakers with the woofers I have on hand. I bought them for another project and will probably end up using them as originally intended -- to replace the woofers and tweeters in a set of mid-'70s BSR two-way speakers that had great solid wood cabinets, but very unimpressive drivers.
To tell the truth, I've been working up the courage for the past two years to do a refoam job myself -- I'm all thumbs and worry that I'll do permanent damage if I screw up. But now that I overcame my resistance to soldering, maybe that's the next logical step.
I do have a pair of EPI M-90 woofers that need a re-foam; maybe that's a good place to start. Refoaming advice/tips are welcome, although I know a search of the archives here will give me lots of great dope on how to do it right.
