Acoustic Research AR 310 HO Speakers Refurbished with a Mod? Plastic Surrounds?

In this video we take a pair of donated Acoustic Research AR 310 HO (High Output) floor speakers that were a popular HT tower speaker in the mid 1990's and refurbish them as well as update them with a popular crossover mod found in online forums. The mid drivers needed have new surrounds as well, and we discover what I believe to be a flexible plastic surround material this is neither foam or rubber that was used to build these in the factory. I wasn't able to hear or demonstrate a dramatic impact from the crossover mod, but I'll give it to the next owner for them to decide.
