  I used a kit from George and Alison Wiltsie (geoaliwil@yahoo.com) with very good results. Materials and packaging are first rate and the instructions are very clear and sensible. Service was excellent.

    Second that. Refoamed Genesis 20's with a kit from them. Essentially an EPI 8" woofer. Fast service and easy to deal with

  Either kit worked fine for the EPI/Genesis woofers that I have re-foamed.

  Good Luck, Those EPI 100s are one of my favorite speakers. Replace the cap on the tweeter while you are in there.

    EPI woofer is an easy re-foam project. Use a D-Cell battery to center the voice coil, and ther's no need to mess with shims and the dust-cap.

    I was listening to a pair of mine with an old Scott tube amp today, and my love for them was renewed.

    And yes, change that 10uF capacitaor with a Solens or a Dayton. Not an option.

      I use a AA battery myself. You are correct that the EPI woofer is an excellent starting point. There are none easier.
