I would suggest having the surrounds replaced rather than the drive units. If you are in the UK, I would suggest <a href="http://www.richardallanaudio.com/reconelab.new/index.htm" target="_blank">Recone Lab</a> as being able to this for you.&nbsp; I suggest ringing them as they are not great at email!! I would consider having the capacitors in the cross over changed at the same time - makes a big difference! They age and the sound becomes slowly more dull.<br /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/113273.aspxThu, 08 May 2008 09:09:25 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:113273deborahabbot0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/113273.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=113273I do hope someone will be able to help. I have recently become the proud owner of my parents old b and o sound system. I do not wish to use the tape and record deck but would love to connect the speakers to my existing jvc&nbsp;sound system. The b and o system is at least 30 years old and hardly used, but the speakers have foam rot and I want to replace I believe its called a new driver in each one, where do I get this from, is it expensive? the speakers are S55T6426 thank you deborah<div style="clear:both;"></div>
