Cloth surrounds are very common today on professional, i.e. sound reenforcement, bass drivers. I don't know about the availability of replacement cloth surrounds, but suitable replacement woofer could be found from among pro or even hi-fi bass drivers. The trick there would be to match the driver to the size of, and degree of stuffing in, your seal enclosers; (the cloth surround aspect isn't an issue).

Thanks for the reply. One thread I did find did indicate that in their day RTR had a good rep as producing speakers that were rockers as you mention. However I actually I have been listening to alot of classical music on them and they seemed to produce better sound with Vivaldi and Handel than with Cheap Trick or Dire Straits but I am still experimenting with location and settings for the tweeter and mid-range. I think a better amp/reciever might help as well. Based on what you I listed previously do you have any suggestions? Thanks!!
