Why don't you find a speaker repair shop and have it re-built. The
original speakers were very good speakers. I had some done 5 or 6
years ago.

book.

Actually rebuilding the speakers yourself is now quite easy. You can
buy foam surrounds for the speakers that will make them as good as
new if the cones are still alright and most of them are. You can buy
the kits for different size speakers at many places on the internet.

If the front speakers in your SP36 are like my
'87PT40, Bluebird blew it on the design. On mine, the
speakers sit behind a metal mesh that goes the width
of the front overhead. The problem is that the rear of
the speaker isn't isolated, you hear the front of the
speaker and the back. That's a huge no-no in audio
design. The sound waves tend to cancel each other out,
particularly the bass frequencies. It is worth your
time to install speakers in small cabinets behind the
grill, the sound difference is amazing.

I'm going to attempt to rebuild the speakers myself with a kit from the
Speaker Place in Rochester, NY. I kinda have a tin ear so hearing from
front and back of the speaker hasn't phased me.
