Need Opinion on Speaker Repair


I am looking to purchase a pair of Acoustic Energy AE2's from a local person. The seller has indicated that one woofer has been repaired for a torn surround but that the repair tech has tested all 4 to be up to spec after the repair. Has anyone ever repaired a surround and can it be put back to "new" status??

In addition, while the speaker was being repaired, the facility upgraded the caps, wiring, in the crossover to a better quality type. Recommended??

thanks for your opinions.

Surrounds should be done in matched pairs, never just one. They will actually be slightly different to each other if you don't.
Experience has told me never to re-surround inefficient drivers. It would be better to just buy 2 new drivers.
Yes, yes, no big mystery. Check out one of the best:
Millersound in doylestown, Pa. He's done several repairs for me.

I agree with with Epcn@poconorecord.com above. Millersound has done some repairs for me as well. He is one of the best & great to work with. GOOD LUCK !
the ae-2's are great speakers but i wouldn't walk away from the pair you're lookin' at. i'd run.
