The most common problem with speakers are rotted, torn or damaged surrounds. The surround is the outer suspension part of the cone. Constant vibration, time and the environment cause foam and rubber surrounds to degrade. Cloth and paper surrounds can become brittle. This causes distortion and poor performance.

Luckily, our easy to install repair kits will make your old speakers sound just like new!

Acoustic Research 6.5" Foam Speaker Repair Kit FSK-6.5

This repair kit turned a set of 25 yr old Acoustic Research AR 8B from old buzzing speakers to new sounding speakers. The repair time was only about 1 hour for each speaker and the sound quality has been restored!

Ordered on-line, prompt delivery to the UK. Took care with the installation and was rewarded with as-good-as-new sounding AR8LS speakers. Very pleased with the results considering I purchased them new around 1983! I previously acquired a SS set for my 1974 AR5 base cones (~four years ago); they're still going strong too.

Excellent Product, Excellent Results!

AR TSW-510s purchased 1987, foam disintegrated on both. Have completed one speaker set (bought 10" kit as well); working on other speaker set. Can't believe I got such a good result; sounds like a new speaker. Note: it is much easier to apply inner edge to underside of the cone, despite what directions say. Position ring, then run bead of glue between edge of cone and inner ring edge. Push cone evenly a few times to spread glue. Turn over and work edges. Thanks, Simply Speakers

Never thunked it!

The foam surrounds on my AR midrange and woofer speakers were just plain crapped out. I went to Simply Speakers to find replacements, because I loved the old cabinets. That's when I found out I could just replace the foam at a fraction of the cost. Quick delivery, three resources for instruction on how to do it and voilá! They sound just like new. It's kinda like painting. A lot of prep but the actual cementing was rather simple and quick.

Worked Great

Never re-foamed a speaker before so this was a learning experience. The rings fit my AR-8b woofers perfectly and the instructions were easy to follow. Brought back my speakers from the dead, they sound like brand new.

Owner of AR 4ax and AR 610

Both the above speakers repaired with the help of these folks. The product was great so was the service, althoughthe Postal Service left the envelop at the mail box...he couldn't be bother to walk 20yards up my drive so it stayed out all night...but ...no harm done. The service and helpful nature of these guys is great. Thanks so very much for standout performance
