After he lost one of my original Poly Domes and then sent 2 others I had to return due to there poor condition I finally have 2 new Poly Dome K's with silicon domes in my Kappa 8 speakers..The description for the new domes states that they sound just like the originals..Hmmm.. reason for this new thread is to bring up the subject of these silicon domes being sold on that auction site, now in different colors also..Mine have been installed in my Kappa 8's for a few days now and I was hoping there were more people out there who have tried these silicon domes and what their opinions were so we can compare notes and give anybody who is interested in buying them an honest and accurate description that they can find here if they are foresighted enough to do a little research..I didn't have that..The Kappa series, especially the 8 and 9 are a great sounding speaker and one of the best if not the best speakers out there for the money but, the Poly Dome being the achilles heel in that most all of them have turned brittle by now and there are so few options to replace or repair them..The silicon domes by themselves are being sold for $150.00 and already installed in speakers for $300.00..For that kind of money they should sound better than the originals.
