I bet you have never seen this...

Mystery

Found a pair of Polk with Advent egg fried tweeter on one.
I bet no one has seen that :eek:
Also mid woofer on that speaker is frozen and dead (no sound).
The other one works fine.
It measures 8.5 D x 9 W x 17 H.

What are these? Not 4.6 as they have SL2500 tweeter. :idea:

I have Monitor 4A (the single one on the left) and they are 3 inches shorter but with same tweeter.

What are these?

Trash.

Haha... I thought that too but then one worked fine and the egg fried tweeter also worked.
So I got them just for the Advent tweeter for cheap.

Not sure. Don't haven time to open them now but the working one paired with 4A works great and sounds good as well.

I need to work on Epicure 20+ first.
BTW, since the topic is on Frankenstein mods, here is one for you of the Epicure 20+...
Check the left speaker woofers... :eek: :eek: :eek:

What woofer are those in the EPI's? I might have a pair of replacents if u need! Shame on who ever did that to those EPI's and polks.

I agree, great speakers without the TAPE job! I suppose the motto here is, "If a little duct tape never hurt anything, then a LOT of it must make things even better"! lol

The Epicure 20s are well worth resuscitating, though. Well worth resuscitating.

Okay took the Advent tweeter out and also the frozen mid.
It's a MW6502.
Crossover has two 12 mf capacitor and one 1 ohm K 5w resistor.
Looking at schematics, they look like Monitor 4.5's.
So I have found a matching speaker for my single Monitor 4A.
They use same driver and tweeter.

Thanks.
I'll check and update if all drivers work.

I have to be careful when removing the tape.
I'll use a hair dryer and peel it slowly.

I have 100v that I like so these should definitely be much better.

I'd love to have a pair of them as well... :-)

That makes three of us and I already have EPI 100Vs and 120Cs (10" two ways, much deeper bass here, more power handling, give up a little on the mids, though).

mhardy6647

I think owning a pair of EPI 100Vs is required by law in New England; I've got a pair :-P (a pair of 110Cs, too).

soundfreak1

Have had the 100 , 120's 100??( the wedge shaped ones) and others that escape me at the moment.in fact still have full xovers for the wedge shaped 100's along with a complete set of drivers for a full set boxed up somewhere.oh ya apair of #70 bookshelf also. But the old Burrows ( prob. misspelled) original designs were the best . After harmon got a hold of them they werent the same. Thats always the way it is though.

Cant think how to spell his name so i used phonics LOL

Winslow Burhoe - still making and selling loudspeakers from his home (or nearby) in the seriously upscale little hamlet of Weston, MA :-) under the name of Direct Acoustics "Silent Speakers"
http://directacoustics.com/?page_id=16

I (none too long ago) had the chance to own a pair of his EPI 1000s, but didn't have the physical space to take them at the time :-(

soundfreak1

Oh crap, i would have straped them to my back if i had too!!!LOL. Love to get my ears on them!!!! He had some very interesting designs in the day, love to see whats he's come up with now.he wasnt much into cabinette work but the sound he pushed out of his creations was always surprising.

soundfreak1

Just checked his website and it seems he hasent cjanged much! Same concepts just more uears of exp. Like to hear his new stuff.

I also had a chance to listen to the 1000's but not overly impressed considering their size.
Here is a pic from our get together (I took the pic).

Nice find on the 4.5's! I have two pair of 4's one pair is in the garage and keeps me happy when I am away from either set of my beloved SDA's
