Klipsch Palladium P39F and Probably the Entire line Major issue!


I have a pair of P39F's and have had an issue for a while with one of the 9" woofers.  The rubber surround that is connected to the aluminum cap on the cone was separating.  Today I thought I would see if I could get the decorative cover off that hides the screws, it is over $100, so I didn't want to have to buy it to when I replaced the torn woofer.  I managed to remove the cover and then I looked up at the rest of my woofers in the cabinet and to my surprise  the other two woofers have the surround separating too. 

I then took the cover off my other P39  and it's surrounds are starting to separate to. 


Something really stinks, six woofers separating, Klipsch is this why you discontinued the Palladium's?  Maybe anyone out there that has Palladium's should take a look at the rubber surrounds.  Klipsch use the same technique on the entire line for the surrounds, not just the P39's but all of them.


Anybody know of a hidden recall or something?  this isn't right, Klipsch this shouldn't be happening on a pair of $20,000 speakers!!!

I loved them too ...
My soul weeps when I see them in my warehouse collecting dust.

I bought my P37f in 2010 and after six years the surrounds broke.
They are not repairable because Klipsch does not supply the surrounds and the ridiculous thing and that if I wanted to buy the new woofers, Klipsch has no spare woofers !!!

It is obvious that nothing lasts forever but a deterioration of the surrounds after only six years is inadmissible!
