Hey guys,been a while since I've been here.In the interim I have found a pair of Monitor 10B's which I'd been looking for for a long time.Sound great - love em!
Just recently I ran across a pair of 7B's.One driver had been replaced with an off brand speaker and the other driver was frozen up.Other wise the cabs looked good.
Well,I made the decision to keep the tweeters as back-ups for the 10's.I stripped out everything else and had put the cabs on the street for garbage pick up..Later that night I was doing some research and ran across an article that said the 7B's were Mathew Polks favorite speakers so I ran back out and grabbed the cabs.
My problem is I threw away the driver so don't know the p/n to buy replacements for.
I'm going to go ahead and put these back together and see what the magic is!
The s/n' are 18935 & 18918
Thanks!

They are arguable the best of all the vintage Monitors. Well balanced top to bottom.Hey guys,been a while since I've been here.In the interim I have found a pair of Monitor 10B's which I'd been looking for for a long time.Sound great - love em!

Look forward to hearing them.
This is my fourth pair of Polk speakers.
I had the SDA-1B's,but sold them on and now have the 10's,7's and RT800's.
Haven't heard the 800's yet..I have speakers stacked everywhere,but have heard they're pretty good too. -
Are 6503's interchangeable with 6502's? Not sure how different they are or not...

No, 6503s are 8 ohm nominal, 6502s are 4 ohm nominalAre 6503's interchangeable with 6502's? Not sure how different they are or not...

Did the early 7's use the MW6500? That is what is in mine with the Peerless tweeters.

maybe all schematics listed by Polk do not use any MW6500. All were 6502 and different tweeters. -
Yes, the 5As and 7As used 8 ohm drivers. There are no schematics for themDid the early 7's use the MW6500? That is what is in mine with the Peerless tweeters.Home Theater/2 Channel:

Ok then. I think my 5's have the 6500's also. Both the 5's and 7's I have were from 1981. -
