Peter,

Why are the C75 drivers more?

Age or technical reasons?

I have never seen foam rings of the correct size advertised but they may be available somewhere.

There's an ebay seller who sells the correct size foam surrounds - they are spot on too, I have some

Even with new drivers the CX's are still not worth a lot but a good pair of Pentas could be worth approaching £1000 so it's economically viable to spend the money.

Hi!

In Finland they charge 170€ for two new woofers for cx50!!!

About the same! CXs are a much cheaper initial buy though. C75 drivers on the other hand are much more expensive!

Thanks guys,

That's interesting, so the drivers for the CX100's obviously must be more, as everyone opts for re-foaming these....

Thanks again.

New drivers are around £25 each in the UK.

Yes. The drive units are however not that expensive. However if you have the skills, it is obviously possible.

I've heard of re-foaming the Cx100's when the foam breaks down. Also, I 've heard that the foam of the midranges in the Pentas goes bad.

Couldn't we re-foam the midranges in the pentas??

THanks
