I refoamed a pair of old JBL woofers for my colleague as a thank you and all went well. The parts for the JBL woofers were ordered from Speakerbits. They supplied a set of foam surrounds complete woth dustcaps, glue and shims.<br />Speakerbits have a very nice website and even though being located in Australia (me being in Norway) shipping is fast.<br /></p><p>I have now received some foam rings for the CX50&#39;s I ordered from Goodhifi. Shipping was fast and as I found their website quite confusing I contacted them in order to get the right foam rings and dustcaps. They were also very fast in replying to my email enquiries.<br />I haven&#39;t quite started refoaming the CX50&#39;s but my first impression of the Goodhifi foam is that of a lesser quality than speakerbits. The foam feels harder and less flexible.<br />Also, they didn&#39;t supply any shims. Admittedly not a big problem but it still drags down on the overall experience.</p><p>I&#39;ll just cut some overhead projector sheets to size and use as shims.</p><p>If anyone else has experience with different foam retailers I and probably many others will be happy to hear about it.</p><p>http://goodhifi.com/</p><p>http://speakerbits.com/&nbsp;</p>Ben <img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /><div style="clear:both;"></div>
