Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Replace drivers in old speakers?

My Snell Type K/II speakers are in the shop to have the foam surrounds replaced. After nearly 15 years the foam has completely dry rotted.

I've heard a couple of people say that after having their foam replaced, the speakers didn't sound nearly as good. Fearing this, I visited the Snell website and see that they offer replacement drivers for the Type K/II speakers. (Shocking considering they stopped making the K/II ten years ago!)

The catch is, they're $120 EACH.

Does that not seem a wee bit high? Or am I just a cheap s.o.b.?
