in Vintage Speakers
Hi everyone,

New member, long time reader.....Just bought a very nice set of Monitor 7 speakers, and I disassembled them tonight for the anticipated upgrade. The speakers look great, and were built in 1988. These speakers have the SL2000 tweeters, which are being replaced with a set of the RD0194-1 tweeters. The capacitors look a little different than expected; they seem newer than I have seen in pictures. Any thoughts/recommendations? It just may be a newer variant, but the board is stamped Model #7, and the capacitors are stamped KSC.....Thanks!ioqs5bxm0kgs.jpg

    Cheap caps and resistor. Change 'em and don't forget to replace the poly with a .5 ohm resistor.

    As long as the original gaskets are not torn there's no reason to replace them. Paper thin is good.
