Speakers with questionable "upgrades"... post your findings here.

[OldGman]

Sounds good you can't tell the difference the ad states.....a HPM 60 orphan

Pioneer s-910 pair

 

[damacman]

Apparently, 4 Ohm car subwoofers make perfect replacements for any driver - no matter the make or impedance.

I can nust hear that clearly tape crackling as it pumps in and out.
It probably sounds like bacon cooking.

 

[OldGman]

He's asking a hundo for the pair.....they best fill the room with the aroma as well whist listening.
Those are a poly type cone correct ?
Now IF all the other drivers check out and IF those cones are not cracked and finally IF the surrounds are not an odd dia or NLA I might be interested at say 75 bones.
MAYBE..........I'm frugal on the verge of being a cheapskate.

Jensen Model 3 speakers. Looks like both 10" drivers were replaced, probably due to foam rot. Haven't heard a pair so might not be as questionable as many pictured in this thread. An original pair for comparison.

Picture me simply slowly shaking my head....

I'd be embarrased to be the seller of some of that crap.

Found locally (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Advised as "made in USA drivers, working perfectly"

When I first saw these on FB Marketplace (no affiliation) I thought they were a candidate for this thread, but apparently the car-sub looking woofers and rear firing horns are original from CV...

That text was created by “AI.” I’m seeing it all over eBay. Lots of flowery info praising the item’s aesthetics, but little to no information about the product itself.

Yes, could advertise a month old cow pat and Ai would generate the same text.

I knew it was AI created, I just thought it was amusing. And of course the fact that the ad doesn't mention the obviously incorrect woofer.
