I inherited my uncle's system complete with ESS AMT-1 speakers. Yes, the foam surround was completely shot.
The good news is it's stupid simple to replace the foam surround. Go to simplyspeakers.com and you can find whatever you need, including very detailed instructions and videos. My repair went without a hitch. Do not pass on speakers just because the foam is wrecked - that's your bargaining chip.
