[QUOTE="Electrodynamic, post: 7141275, member: 548723"] The original Mag v1's only had issues with user abuse. They were rated at 600 watts and splitting the foam surround came from over excursion / excessive power. The later models (v2's and v3's) had a different formulation and shape foam surround that could handle more abuse. That, and all of the soft parts were upgraded along with different coils and motors. Foam vs. rubber comes down to engineering goals. Foam is more compliant than rubber. Rubber can take more physical abuse. Foam is more efficient than rubber. Designing a speaker is a balancing act. Our surround material choice is based on compliance requirements, sensitivity desires, and excursion requirements. [/QUOTE]
