Hello to all, So far I've have been happy just reading all the knowledgeable things people here have to say but now I have a question of my own I would like answered (which may or may not already be answered elsewhere here - in which case hopefully someone will be kind enough to direct me accordingly). I have a pair of Mission 720s which I have owned from day 1 (I purchased them in 1980). I have used them more or less continuously all these years. The mid range surrounds (the mid range as I understand it are Peerless K040-MRF) are separating / coming apart in a couple of places on the outer edge (pic below with lines on either sides of the split surrounds). I have more pics I can post if anyone wants to see more of what I'm talking about. This is affecting the sound quality. I am considering replacing the existing surrounds which are fabic (silk???) with foam surrounds BUT after reading many of the comments on this site it occurs to me that there may be some way to repair the damage (Permatex on the split, maybe) and keep the original surrounds which 'appear' to be in otherwise reasonable condition. Your thoughts and suggestions would be very welcome. Many thanks to you for taking the time to read this post and possibly answer my question.
