Proac response 2


i have a pair that has the surround foam rotten up, thinking about ordering new pair which cost about $500 ( original factory midbass driver)through Proac distributor, i was told these drivers are scanspeak special made for Proac,the least expensive way is to have them refoamed, anyone has them refoamed and how do they sound? also where did you get them done? the last choice is i have to order from proac distributor. Any info's will be appreciated and thanks in advanced

If you can get the materials and are a little handy you can refoam them yourself. http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?8710-How-to-refoam-a-speaker

I had mine professionally refoamed. They look and sound great. I live in Phoenix, AZ and the Audio Doctor took care of it for me. The cost was about $200 including having him remove the speakers (they were stuck), shipping and reinstallation. I am not sure who did the actual work. He said it was a company that did lots of refoaming and repairs.

Did you buy the black pair recently sold on e-bay?
