Default Pyramid sub surround, but not that kind of Pyramid!

I just got a pair of Pyramid 8W Subwoofers and the surrounds are getting
pretty beat. They look like rubber to me, but maybe that's a certain
kind of foam. Any ideas about places to get them repaired or source for
parts to do it myself (I have successfully refoamed a pair of Advents),
preferably in or near Colorado?

Otherwise, I am perhaps thinking about replacing the woofers as I don't
need the dual voice coil arrangement and I am thinking that in the
intervening years between when they came out and now, there might be a
better driver. Any ideas on that?

They sound pretty cool powered with a McIntosh 2105 under a pair of
Dynaudio BM5as!


TIA

OK, I've gotten several responses telling me that Pyramid speakers
aren't really worth the time and money spent on dealing with them. I
think there is some confusion as these are not the crappy car audio
speakers, but hand built speakers by Dick Sequerra. As they are, they
still sound good, but with new surrounds, I think they would sound
great. I have already replaced the Tannoy sub in my home studio with
them and they give me a much more accurate representation of the lowest
octave than the Tannoy did.
