monitor 10s

Does anyone know where I can get appropriate speaker specs for these speakers.
I would like to build new enclosures and would like to plug speaker numbers in to a computer design program.
Thanks

Hello,

These specs are from product line literature that includes the Monitor 10 (before it became 10b) along with the rest of the Monitor line at the time. (Monitor 12 had become 12b and is also referred to in this piece of literature as RTA12b). There's no copyright date.

I hope they help; I don't quite know what info you need... but since the cabinets for the Monitor series speakers are pretty solid to begin with, I wonder what you're planning to build..

Some of the specs sound a little weird, like the frequency range reported as +/- 2dB with no additional information, and the "System Resonance" rating.

.Great post joelll!

The drivers for the 10Bs are different than the originals.
SL2000x1, MW6503x2, and a 10" passive (could be the same). It also uses a different crossover.

Are you rebuilding your current cabs? If you're building from scratch, good luck. There was a pair of model 10s for sale at an awesome price. I'm thinking about selling my 10Bs, but it'll cost more to pry them from my ears. That scoundrel:)

I picked these up for 50 bucks but cabinets are thrashed so thought I would build new ones maybe different dimensions with same air space. taller thinner .
