    You can add 15 grams mass on the pr cone.
    May be tape some pennies. :)

    Well, they're a little different. The material the cone part is made of on the replacement is smoother compared to the old one which has a very bumpy texture to it. Weight is a little different too.

    Old - 318 grams
    Replacement - 303 grams

    Not sure if 15 grams is enough to actually hear a difference or not, that is not much weight. At least the cabinet is sealed now, though. Dates are different too. I forget the actual date, but the MW6500's I think were 1983 so I assume the PR is the same year. The replacement is dated 1989.

    Maybe I will just try and find another 1989 Monitor 5 PR so that even if it does change the bass a bit, they will both be the same.

    Have you "listened" to both speakers with the new PR in one? Only your ears can tell if they sound "different". Don't pre-decide that! Put them in and see if you can tell a difference. If not, your good. If so, then it's time for a mod or another matching PR. Or....?

    No way to tell at this point. I'd fire them both up with some bass tracks, and see if they sound about the same

    Maybe once I get a day off. A/Bing these is going to take a bit of work. They're a center channel with a TV on them.
