Speaker Refoaming Question

(1/3) > >>

audiott:
I am looking at a pair of Advent Large and the wolfers have been refoamed.  What questions should I ask?

treos33:
I wouldn't ask any questions. I would get down next to the woofer that has been refoamed and push it in and out a few times. Listen for any scraping and try to feel if anything is rubbing. The biggest problem with a bad refoaming would be the voice coil being off center and rubbing against the magnet. If you feel or hear anything I'd pass or at least negotiate a lower price so you could have them refoamed correctly.

audiott:
Much appreciated

audiott:
If they are on ebay, I assume the best route would be to assume the refoam is bad and negotiate accordingly.

treos33:
I'm not sure buying large advents on ebay is really worth the cost of shipping, similar or better speakers pop up on CL often enough.
