The surrounded of the driver hv been totally eroded. Kindly suggest me what to do? More options. Hi Imo, throw them away, was junk even before cheap foam surrounds gave up.

Click to expand Sorry if i was coarse, should have been a line more. And yes the is by a wide margain the best Bose has made, so far, still i think, personally, it is a bad speaker.

It sure can play extremely loud but no lf no hf, the 3" midrangedrivers are forced tho work outside their range by a mediocre equalizer. For the price of 18 new foam surrounds i think you can build a pair of nice compact speakers far superior to the in all respects but loudness. Great sound engineering Awesome! Works well Well built and sounds great. I plan to get get 17 more and replace the rest of them Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New.

See all. Klipsch Genuine Factory 8" Woofer Kob 5. You may also like. Bose Audio Speaker Parts and Components. Speaker Full-Range Speakers. You could probably repair these, but getting the right drivers and then wiring them correctly might be an issue.

That would be a great price for the new ones, as they are really quite good. Although I can't speak from extensive personal experience, I do believe that the new s are excellent speakers; and after the Series II, Bose went away from the sealed box to a vented design with a carefully optimized port system. The new ones have specially designed drivers built in-house, and technically the new can move a lot more air at low frequencies than the original versions, are more efficient and the equalizer has been improved significantly as well.

The problem with the new versions is the surrounds for the drivers: urethane foam, and the ones built in the 70s and 80s and probably into the 90s were susceptible to foam rot, so if you get a used pair, determine if the surrounds are in good condition.

Probably any of the Model Vs and VIs would be fine, however. If you could find a good price on a pair of VI versions, that would probably be the best thing to do. I called Bose and to my surprise they will give me the trade in. Bose policy doesn't seem to care that I bought them used, only that the serial numbers are there and I ship the speakers back to them.

My major concern, the distance between the speakers will be 10 feet due to design constraints and WAF factors. Will the 's span the center and not leave a hole? I was also considering LaScalas because of my 10 foot placement situation. But LaScalas are a much larger committment both in dollars, size and wife convincing. One more thing, what finish would you recommend? I read the veneer is cheap on the VI series.

Maybe the black would look the richest? Sounds like a good deal and impressive customer service. Does that include the equalizer? So the discounted price is for a complete set of speakers. The equalizer is an integral part of the speaker system. Without the equalizer, it's not a speaker system.

Sorry for the delay in answering you on this. The "hole-in-the-middle" problem with so many speakers doesn't exist, for all intents and purposes, with the unless you have them very far apart. In other words, the dispersion off the back of the speakers is so broad that it will fill the wall with sound by reflection, and the distance is not a major issue.

In fact, the manual says you can mount them between feet apart, but they should be inches off the floor or below the ceiling, and they should be from inches out from either side wall.

So your mounting conditions are probably pretty good. The La Scalas would be good, but quite frankly I think the s would easily out-perform them, and the spaciousness of the s would completely outclass the Klipsch speakers.

I believe this offer is made to anyone with older s, and it is certainly outstanding customer service. It is a complete system, but you have to furnish the power, etc.

You might want to be sure that you have adequate amplifier power, but this newer series is much easier on amplifiers than the old original and the Series II A good watts-per-channel would nevertheless be good to have with any if you can do it, but the speakers will give satisfactory results with less power, of course, but at lower volume levels.
