Dh loves his stereo (a motley collection of new, old, used, salvaged and recylcled components), but realized his (20 year old) speakers were wearing out. He figured out the foam 'surrounds' inside were deteriorating --and upon a little online investigation, found a mail order repair kit he could buy to replace the parts, at a cost of $15. New, or even used, speakers of the same quality would be considerably more than that. The kit came last Friday, so that's been his weekend project. He's pleased as punch....
