Klipsch Palladium P39F and Probably the Entire line Major issue!


I have a pair of P39F's and have had an issue for a while with one of the 9" woofers.  The rubber surround that is connected to the aluminum cap on the cone was separating.  Today I thought I would see if I could get the decorative cover off that hides the screws, it is over $100, so I didn't want to have to buy it to when I replaced the torn woofer.  I managed to remove the cover and then I looked up at the rest of my woofers in the cabinet and to my surprise  the other two woofers have the surround separating too. 

I then took the cover off my other P39  and it's surrounds are starting to separate to. 


Something really stinks, six woofers separating, Klipsch is this why you discontinued the Palladium's?  Maybe anyone out there that has Palladium's should take a look at the rubber surrounds.  Klipsch use the same technique on the entire line for the surrounds, not just the P39's but all of them.


Anybody know of a hidden recall or something?  this isn't right, Klipsch this shouldn't be happening on a pair of $20,000 speakers!!!

No I do not over drive them.  200 watts is what my amp puts out and I rarely push it to half volume, my wife freeks out if I do.  They sound amazing and even with the detached surrounds they still sound great, but I know I need to fix them.
" And even with the detached surrounds they still sound great ". Really ? Enjoy ! MrD.
yes they do still sound good, the structure of the 9" woofer frame is unlike any I have seen.  the cone doesn't sag like a regular speaker when the surround has detached.  The raddle
I ordered all 6 9" drivers from Klipsch yesterday.  Not sure when I will get them but the order is in, they were extremely good about the matter and gave me them at a price I simply could not refuse.  Thank you Klipsch from a extremely satisfied Customer that com....
