refoam?


I recently bought a set of Proac Response 2's from the early to mid 90's. I have read a little here on the surround foam degrading over time.My question is when is the approiate time to have them refoamed. Should it be done automatically after a certain age or only after an obvious tear or failure.Also after a refoam what kind of changes in the sound of the speaker can be expected.

I agree with Rrog. I don't think that it happens overnight, and they are pretty old. Great speakers...have them done right.
I don't believe foam surrounds go bad in one day. They are degrading gradually over time and yours are about due. If you want to know how your speakers are supposed to sound do a little preventative maintenance and have the surrounds professionally replaced now.

I agree with Schipo.
If they look good and aren't torn or flakeing I wouldn't fix it.
If you need it the speaker should sound better afterward; if done well should sound as it did originally.
