Hi DIYers,
just recieved a pair of M710s via eBay... with one blown driver!
Turns out to be an UIS (unidentifable speaker), cone frozen solid in
the magnet. Rather than fix it I want to replace it.
Looking for pointers from anyone with experience...
Did a bit of googling phoning and found that;
-Mission is now aprt of AIG, who no longer stock it nor can give any
specs, other than 710s used Peerless drivers.
-Wilmslow Audio sell one Peerless
(Polypropylene Cone Mid/Bass
Diameter - 210mm
Sensitivity (2.83v/1m) - 90dB
Impedance - 8 ohm
Nominal power handling - 150w

for about £40 +pp
Searching around I found a few cheaper possibillities;
- http://www.solotechnic.co.uk HiFi woofer, aluminium frame, kapton
voice coil - 20cm (8"), 150WRMS

and
Premia Audio; 8.99 +pp

(Thiele Small Pars; Item No.902.208 Re 7.1, Fs 53, Qms 2.4, Qes
1.13, Qts 0.75Sd(CM2), Vas(L) 216, Cms(uM/N) 20, Mms(g) 300, B x 30,
L 7.9, SPL_1W/1m2 86 Prms(W) 100 Pmax(W) 200Xmax5)
So many choices! thing is I do't know enough about speakers, or even
all the Thiele Smalls of the original Peerless to try and make a
comparison (http://www.thielesmall.com lists a few, but none seem to
match even what little I have i.e. power, SPL, free air resonance)
Any clues, anybody?
