Proac tweeter issue

hello , I purchased a used pair of proac response 2.5 a few weeks ago . The tweeters seem to be working fine but the "foam" or whatever it is around the tweeter has darkened in some spots.Looks wet in some spots. I rubbed my finger against it to feel if it was a liquid.The foam basically disinigrated in the affected areas ? When i insected them at the previous owners house they were not this way . Ant ideas ? I thought i read about the tweeters being surrounded in a liquid ? could they have been damaged from the car ride to my house . Just curious ?

You can buy the correct ProAc tweeter foam from Modern Audio the ProAc Distributor. They usually have them in stock. BTW, they aren't just there for looks.

Are you seriously suggesting that the diffraction foam on a ScanSpeak tweeter somehow is "different" if ScanSpeak supplies said tweeter to Proac :-) :-) :-)

Thats just too funny, and exactly one of the things I refer to as "magic" that folks are led to believe. LOL

Good Listening

Pbnaudio, I did not suggest that at all. It is something you managed to create in your own mind. This is exactly why I love to see commercial users here. You think you know more than the rest of us lowly members.

The fact is the original ProAc tweeter foam has ProAc written in it which will restore the speaker to its original condition.

"they aren't just there for looks" was what made me jump to that assumption, that and the fact that "snake oil" is so rampant in this industry.

Good listening

I seen the foam from Madisound does not have proac labeled on it . I would much rather have the speakers in original condition . Has this discoloration happened to any of you ?
