Will guess it was the best material to provide the best sound. My CUBIIs had the same foam material and it was fine after 10yr, so longer lived then most of us own speakers. Replacing woofer surrounds and other foam bits on older speakers is a common requirement. Relative inexpensive to do so and more of a pita than anything. Similar deterioration often occurs with foam speaker grills.
