Just an FYI. I have the Snell EIIs witch are similar speakers. I needed to have the Mid-Bass woofers replaced because of foam rot. I bought the speakers 15 years ago new. Snell not only replaced the drivers, but re-tuned both speakers (using some new electronics & the crossover.) All I can say is WOW!!! They sound better than when I bought them new -- Very smooth, extremely balanced, transparent and beautiful. Even my wife said that they sounded as smooth as a great bottle of port -- She love wine and port. I was thinking about selling them on Audiogon because they seemed a little bright & thin But Mark @ Snell Acoustics said that over the years the drivers balance can shift one way or the other and that they needed to be tuned-up. So I now have speakers that are a perfect match (I feel better than) to the original EII Master speakers.
The cost was $300.00 for materials and labor. Snell has the original drivers still made for most of their older speakers. They recommend replacing the drivers over re-foaming because they can make them sound brand new!!! And I agree 100%.
