Refoam for ProAc Response 3.5 Woofers

interested in what you find out

i too have a pair of lovely resp 3.5's... who knows, it may need rehab down the road

does proac in the uk still have replacement drivers?  you shd check...

@jjss49 I have checked with ProAc. yes they have replacements. You need to go to the US Importer . The quote was right at about $400 per speaker. Seemed a bit much to me > $1600 for the pair. 

There was a refinished pair of complete Speakers  in San Diego CA for sale - recently restored - for $2500 plus shipping . Thought about them first but did not pull the trigger.

so TSO in Dallas said they want $400 per driver? so $1600 for 4 fresh woofers? wow, pricey...

i did a google search, found this...

https://www.midwestspeakerrepair.com/product-category/speaker-repair-kits/repair-kits-by-brand/proac...

if you click the page they also say they offer services to do the work... not original surrounds of course, but may be fine

ps -- curious... did bill at millersound say WHY he doesn't do proacs anymore?

@jjss49 so sorry for the long delay . I found a number of repair shops which said they do Proac' s. Bill said he stopped due to the extremely tight tolerance . I suppose he had to many repairs returned on them . 
CK Speaker repair in SoCal
Speaker repair Pros also in SoCal
The Speaker Factory in Gaithersburg MD.
Others said they repair any speaker . The three above seemed quite credible and Knowledgable of the ProAc line and repair needs.


Getting ready to ship them to one of them.. . 

@jjss49  update I ended up with a different company ,  VanL Speakerworks in Chicago (Norridge, Ill) .
His response time,  communication and work were all excellent. The speakers are now installed and sound excellent. 

thank you thank you
i will search them out and keep in the file for that day, when it comes :)

btw, how do the redone drivers sound compared to what you recall of the originals?

@jjss49  The speakers sound wonderful. I have not pushed them hard yet . Full disclosure : I also did not push them hard prior to the repair as the surrounds were starting to fail. I acquired them last month knowing  the surrounds had seen better days.
