I picked up a pair of minty Monitor 7c's, complete with boxes and original paperwork no less..

Anyway, I recall some experience with the monitor 7a's and recall them as being pretty nice overall but these 7c versions are not exactly making me want to call my neighbors over to check them out.

Is it the age? Perhaps some new caps and resisters??

Maybe I should just chuck the tweeters and go with a newer design that can be crossed over allot lower like the Seas or Scanspeaks and go through the process of a new crossover for them.

The bass response seems entertaining enough and the mids appear ok but they get shrill and glassy in the transition to the tweeter.. I can't help but think to use a nice broadband tweet and go with the old school series crossover and see what happens. I'm also thinking some cabinet damping like those car audio damping sheets would help in the lower mids too. Perhaps some light fluff of wool or poly as well..

Opinions?

Thanks.
