Good move! The sooner one can eliminate debt the better life gets
Agreed; Bought my house in 88 paid it off in 13 years and have been spending those would be mortgage payments on essentials such as boats, motorcycles, stereo equipment, etc. ever since

Re: Using other tweeter instead of RD0198-1 to replace SL2500 in Monitor 7 series 2
Proof is in the listening, which only you can do 
If you can work with 1/8" aluminum alloy plate, it would be better to use that than the ABS plastic because the material is much much stiffer and should be less likely to disturb the minute tweeter voice coil movements by its vibrations triggered by the midwoofer. Will stiffen the speaker baffle better than a 1/8" plate of ABS too.
Heck, maybe even use a non magnetic stainless steel like 316L.

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
Getting ready to start the 2025 fishing season!
Absolutely stunning pic....I do miss that area...by the way, you know, if Jason Bourne was there, he'd shoot that tank by the garage to create a distraction before chasing you into the field.

6502 MW Question
I recently purchased a pair of Monitor 5 jr speakers off MP. Great shape, sound great. I wanted to know if the midwoofers share the same magnet issue as the 6500 MW have. Do I need to glue these magnets to the speaker frame like the 6500 to prevent misalignment and damage to the voicecoil? Also, do you suggest recapping? Thanks!

What's the fun in that? All the whiners who complain about the refs shoddy work will have to move to a different venue.

Re: New TV recommendations
Samsungs. They usually crap out on us every 7 or so years. I'll look at Sony's next.

LOL!! Again, this house will have to disagree, we have lived in this house for 25 years now, and just like you with SONY, we have only moved our TV’s around the house, never had a TV die on us, and as I said, the only TV we had an issue with, just happened to be a SONY, nothing big, we still use it, and honestly, I doubt it would keep me from buying another SONY.
All I am saying is, Samsung has treated us well, and they have a fantastic picture..
Edit: Sorry Tom, I shouldn’t have read this on my phone, you know, old eyes and all, and not wearing my glasses, I totally read what you posted wrong, LOL!!! But my statement does reflect my experience with Samsung.. 🤪

Re: New TV recommendations
Damn Bill! All I was showing is that they were coming and possible in 4k until the energy restrictions nixxed them.
Name one new technology that wasn't unaffordable to the masses until they scaled it down to the affordable area.
Hell even I remember when my neighbor bought a new betamax and projection TV that he paid high 5 figures for.
