Replacement Foam Grills?
« on: 29 Apr 2013, 01:26 am »
Where can I find cheap foam replacement grills for my Burhoe Crimsons? They are spontaneously shedding.

Yeah I saw those in about 5 seconds too. Meets all criteria except the cheap part. At $40ish a pair plus shipping I'd just dumpster them and buy a pair of Pioneers on sale. Or just go with nekked drivers until the wife complains.

I definitely got my money's worth out of them. 35 years of service.

Why not just buy some acoustic foam and make them yourself? Or get some acoustically transparent fabric and go that road.

Gotcha on the cheap part, I thought they might be some beloved classic you were restoring to past glory. 

Here's a nice article on foam vs cloth grills, you have to scroll down past the article on speaker stands, but it was pretty complete and common sense.  If you don't like looking up links, it said don't use foam.
