I am and will continue to use my 1975 Larger Advent speakers connected to a mid seventies Crown DC300A power amp and a Kenwood C1 Preamp as my living room - main speakers. I have had them re-coned (new foam replacements and old remaining components) three times. Haven't checked, but will most likely have to have them re-coned again. Absolutely worth it.
Thoughts on extending speaker life.
For those of us who own speakers that are past a few years old, and those same speakers utilize dynamic drivers, what are your thoughts on extending the life of the rubber surround ( assuming that your driver utilizes this kind of design).
In general, as the driver ages, the likelihood of the rubber surround failing increases. Without actually replacing the driver ( not possible in some instances) what do you suggest to extend the life of the driver(s), if anything?
For those with other types of driver design, what are your concerns about the extended usage of this kind of driver as it ages?
