I had a pair. The best speakers I had owned up to that time 1989 I think. I really enjoyed them for about 3 or 4 years. I still have the receipt. Paid $309/pr at the Happy Medium in Madison Wi.
I needed new foam surrounds for the woofers in my ESM-2s and just bought a pair on U.S. ebay, cheap.
In case anyone else has the same problem, just search for "8" Speaker Repair". I bought the only cheap set, $12.00US shipped, but the seller seems to list them all the time.
Foam surrounds from ebay were easy to install. Not an exact fit, but close enough. I didn't realize how bad the sound had been, until I replaced the surrounds. They sound great now.
For those of you interested in entire woofer replacements, I contaced Energy Parts Dept.in U.S. and received the following info:
"Original drivers are no longer available. Replacements we can offer are p/n 4DR//51745 which is the 8" woofer used in the ESM2MKII. Your cost is $50.23 each plus $10.00 s&h. Contact Kim (716 896-9801) for purchase options. Regards Dan Wergen USA National Service Mgr. Ph.# 716 896-9801"
