I picked these up from the Goodwill last week due to them being bundled with some speaker stands I wanted. Speakers + stands were $20, so that wasn't a difficult decision - $20 stands and free speakers! Of course, the woofers need new surrounds. All that is clear. In looking up info on these speakers, almost every result is for a speaker that looks nothing like mine. I'd think that the woofers weren't original, but the tweeters don't look like others either. Plus, I have seen some like mine online. Maybe the drivers were replaced with generics? I'll pull a woofer tonight and see what I can find out.
Pics always help! Mine are on the left, other 505.2's are on the right:
I really don't care that they are different from others, but it's difficult finding new surrounds for these. I checked with the eBay guy who's often recommended, and he says he doesn't have any for these. They are simply 8" woofers with a cone diameter of 6.25". Another supplier asked their diameter, and I haven't heard back in two days after a quick initial response.
I guess my questions are:

I guess my questions are:
- is there much difference between surrounds for different 8" woofers?
- what are other reputable sources for surrounds?
- is anyone familiar with these speakers, especially the ones I have?
