Identify this speaker

So, you mean those speaker DOES exist

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. This Audio Circuit link has your model listed but with no information.

The lack of info is because they were made for the masses to bundle with a low cost system and aren't considered worthy of repair.

To repair these to working order isn't considered "worth it" unless they have sentimental value.

found one of the speakers gives out a cracking sound in deep low bass.

Unless there's a break in the connecting wire, I doubt oxidation is the problem. More than likely the speaker itself is at fault.
 
A break in the wire?

FYI, I saw the model number in the back was "SR-1010" and it is not listed on the website:rolleyes:

As usual, I'm incorrect. That chart skips your exact model.
 
It is fine:) Can you also help me to ask for this speaker on the other Audio Enthusiast websites? I think that would be a great help:D

One more thing, how to replace the foam ring:confused:

You'll get the instructions with the kit. I did one @ 15 yrs ago and it was very easy.

I'm not sure what kinda help you want but the only person qualified to ask questions is you because you physically possess the speaker.

Give it a shot. ;)
 
Thanks a lot for the help Old Hippie, but can you give me some links to other foums so I can ask?:cool:

Also, from your earlier posts I don't quite get what you mean by "a break in the wire." Well the speaker wire for that speaker is the wire that came with the kit "The Pioneer receiver, Kenwood cassette player, and the Turntable." Which the wire is in an extreme poor condition and some the copper is exposed. I think that will be the reason, right?

The site linked above is good or how 'bout Classic Audio Valuation, or AudiogoN.

Other than those resources, I'm at a loss. There were a few active audio groups on Usenet @ 10 yrs. ago but I haven't ventured there for awhile.

Probably not.
I'm 95% sure it's a speaker problem but if you're using 20 yr. old speaker wire, I'd be starting the upgrade right there.
 
Well, the speaker is in a good condition and I can't see the difference between this one and the other one:confused:.
 
And tell me what old car will outperform new cars of the same class

You'll hear strange noises if the foam surrounds are missing.

You might have a bit more luck than with Parts Express here:

Vintage drivers simply can't come anywhere near the low distortion of modern drivers, and they do even worse in the distortion:Vd area (that is to say that modern drivers have both more Vd AND lower distortion)

Maybe, but you're connecting *cough* Behringer *cough* crap to your speakers.

How about you actually look up the DCX2496? You'll find that it's actually quite awesome. The only way to get better is to pay $1000+ for the harder to set up Rane product.

By the way, I was thinking about my earlier statements about old speakers, and I must make an amendment. I would love a pair of Apogee Grands! I thought of Apogee a couple days later.... I would still probably replace the woofers with something newer, though.

The first thing that crossed my mind when I replied that not all old speakers are crap was a picture of an Apogee :D

Well, all I found was a French DCX2496 fansite telling to use the digital input with a different ADC, to make up for the lousy AD stage. They also say the DA sucks, but that you can't do anything about it. Adding digital outputs would be a simple task if they suggested DIY.

The DSP is basically an Analog SHARC, so Behringer probably used VisualDSP to get knobs to control the parameters of a crossover module provided by Analog Devices in the development kit. Of course, the digital section probably doesn't suck then.
 
Since we're in the "Wish" mode, the Hill Plasmatronics had absolutely the best mid/tweeter section I've ever heard, the Beveridge 2 SW(which were placed at the sides of a room) were just simply incrediable, and my previously owned Acoustat Model 4s with the integrated tube amps would definately be on my list.

There were many that I didn't get a chance to audition that are just as spectacular.

But they all sound like crap anyway because the distortion is soo much higher. :rolleyes:
