Help identify driver (Jennings Research Contrara)

Posted this over on AK. Posting here for wider audience.


Hey all,

Need help identifying vintage driver pulled from Jennings Research Contrara pedestal speakers. They are NOT the Elan's, but the ones with two 8" drivers and silk dome tweet. Seems like all the threads I found while searching were AudioKarma. Only found one thread that mentioned Audax as the brand of woofer, but I think they were talking about the Elan.

Just picked up a pair locally cheap and one of the drivers had been replaced with a Ratshack 8" full range driver. I'd like to locate a near original driver to really test the speakers.

The numbers stamped on the magnet are kind of faded, but looks like it reads "12081008". Rubber surround and some kind of fiber or paper cone. Resistance with my DVM reads about 7 ohms, so I figure these are 8ohm nominal.

Here's link to an Ebay listing similar to mine.

Any help is appreciated. If all else fails I'll probably be back asking about modern replacements.
