Default KLS8 perishing

The foam bass driver surround has just started to split,would both bass units need to be redone at the same time?How does the KLS8 compare to your new kit designs,is it worth spending the money on them in your opinion?

WD25a's are great, I love mine to bits, but don't take my word for it.

Why not go to the Bristol show (if it's convenient for you) and find out if you like them. WD will be showing the floorstanders which are apparently even better than the standmounts.

Blimey! How old are they then? My brothers JBL's have recently 'gone' but I bought them in 1980 before passing them on to him.

Which bass drivers are they in the KLS8?

You can get the stuff to do this yourself?
