Hello
I have been reading in several places about the components on the crossover PCB's that are used with this series of speakers (Monitor 50 Series II) and would like to get some recommendations on what brand(s) to select when ordering from parts-express.
For now (unless someone advises on the possible benefits of replacing other components), I was initially just interested in replacing the two (2) OEM NPE caps with values of 8.2uF and 9.1uF as well as each of the resistors (2).
I am driving the speakers via a home brew 2-channel, 200W +/- tube PA with my Onkyo TX-NR809 acting as a pre-amp for the front mains.
I have used Jantezen components before with audio amps for my ham radios as well components from Dayton Audio.
If anyone has any other ideas on what I 'could' do to increase the overall tone to reflect better imaging or whatever, please feel free to share. I know these speakers are not going to give me the sound that much more expensive ones will, however, anything that sets me back under $100.00 would be worth it to me.
Tnx guys.
