Afterall it&amp;#39;s midrange and foam is more flexible(?) than rubber, and refoaming happens once in 20 years, I hope.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks everyone for opinion :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Penta midrange refoam</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/359387.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 19 Feb 2012 12:15:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:359387</guid><dc:creator>Paul</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/359387.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=42&amp;PostID=359387</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/Themes/beotheme1/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Blackrix:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have heard from someone who had the surrounds of his CX100&amp;#39;s replaced by rubber surrounds. The did not sound like before, the sounded worse. In case of MS150&amp;#39;s I have heard that placing rubber surrounds improved the bass. So it can go both ways......&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have refoamed cx50 with rubber surrounds in comparing to a pair of c2300 (C40) which I refoamed with foam surrounds the bass of the cx50 are deeper and more powerfull. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Cx100&amp;#39;s I refoamed with foam surrounds, because of the rubber ones the clue surface is smaller than the foam ones. The rubber surrounds i got were smaller&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Penta midrange refoam</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/359302.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 18 Feb 2012 17:31:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:359302</guid><dc:creator>Leslie</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/359302.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=42&amp;PostID=359302</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Just finished 8 and foam has been used!&lt;/p&gt;

Haven&amp;#39;t fitted them yet as with all my own gear I never seem to find the time to finish lol!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would think it would matter less with mid drivers tbh, and there is a thread somewhere where a user was able to directly compare and not notice any difference!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Penta midrange refoam</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/359252.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 18 Feb 2012 10:43:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:359252</guid><dc:creator>Orava</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/359252.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=42&amp;PostID=359252</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They are aviable foam and rubber surrondings for Pentas midrange speakers. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do anyone have any experiences about them, is eiher of them better than other? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Original is foam but if replaced with rubber, it will last longer but does it affect the sound of speakers?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone have rerubber them?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
