9 LEE: However, i'm certainly not saying London isn't friendly. I just find that in most central parts, you are a tourist amongst tourists! Lee Ah - that's what I was trying to say in my usual North/South divide jealous way. I'll contact KingStreet (you have a PM) for a definate date then. Chris.

I don't think there is any definate reason for this. I've come across speakers of the same age & type with varying degrees of foam rot from nil to complete disintigration. I suspect it is a manufacturing anomily with some foam surrounds simply being better produced than others. Chris.

pedrompinto: Hummm.. could it be central london ? Perhaps i could buy a plane ticket and drop by... :) As it would be King Street hosting the meeting then Manchester is really the only option for the venue.

Well I've got to question 15 - unfortunately it is by default and there are a few answers missing between there & question 3 It is a good excercise in site navigation though and impresses just how good a reference site Beoworld is Chris.

Dillen: 50 dollars - where did you get that figure ? Yeah - I thought this sounded a little high

I'm not 100% sure but I think the RL60.2's have rubber surrounds as opposed to the foam surrounds of the earlier RL60's so rot shouldn't be an issue here. EDIT: - I've just re-read your post and it seems you have the RL60's so yes they do suffer foam rot unfortunately Chris.
