Man those things look beat up.

[tyroneshoes]

Yes they do. I wonder if the surround would just correct itself after a little use or if theyre just creased for good.

I wouldn't buy those with the surrounds like that. I remember when I blew one of my Focal midbasses from a 130k set and took them out to replace them with some old MB Quarts, the cones where sort of deformed. I saw someone selling some on ebay that had the same cone deformation.

After seeing what the cones looked like on mine after about 1 1/2 years, and the fact that I ripped the tensil leads right out of the cone of the left speaker, I made up my mind right then that I'd never use Focal speakers again.:mad:

I wouldn't use KEF speakers either, if the surrounds do that after some use.

well thats just dumb... those speakers are great. it's a shame for sure they're beat up like that.

LIKE NEW!...yeah..right.

[daitrong]

i'll be hesitant to buy those just because he describe those speakers are "like new" which they are obviously not.

They don't. I have a pair of those drivers from ca. 1994 and the surrounds still look normal. I suspect that the person did something to damage the surround. Like putting a brick on top of the drivers or something.

if the surrounds aren't actually torn they should straighten back out with use.

I hope they will, because I bought them. I know someone that I hope can help with repairing the surround if needed. The problem is that I bought these without knowing if I can properly adapt them to fit. If not, they'll be back up for sale:( .
