Ahh, the beauty of the GTi series. These have the same type surrounds as the 1500A and under normal use, should never need replacement.
A primary reason that I went with the W10GTi for my surrounds is because of foam replacement (or lack for the need thereof).
My two front surrounds are 16 feet in the air. Each speaker weighs in at ~65 pounds. One is backed by a mirror so I can't even put a ladder against the wall. It takes two people, a scaffold, a double-sided ladder, and lots of harsh words to get these either up or down.
I recently replaced the components at 16 years (foams were deteriorated) and am now 54 years old. Do you really think I want to hassle with this again when I'm 70???? Would anyone in their right mind?
And at 8 feet in the air, the rear surrounds aren't that easy either.
These are what's in them"
And here is the spectral analysis with the speaker sitting on top of my L200 cabinet. This is at ~2 meters and is uncorrected exhibiting the typical floor bounce, room response, and all. But, this is far smoother than the L200 cabinets with 2235s/LE175-HL91/075.
JBL buys many parts from suplliers. When JBL stops offering these parts the suplliers of JBL continue to sell to the big re-cone shops (Orange county etc) and other ones in the know. I see it important to buy from reputable shops and suppliers that are knowledgable as such. Comments????
