Monitor 8T vs 11T
Options
Does anyone know if the 8T and 11T used the same driver? I have a pair of 11T's and need to replace a driver. I'm hoping to find a vintage replacement and found a pair of 8T's for sale for $65. Thoughts.

It looks like if they are the 8ts the should have mw-6510 which would be the correct driver. If they are 8tl they use a mw-6516 which is only used in that model.Monitor 4.6, 5jr, 5, 7, 10, 11. RTA 8TL. RTA 11T. SDA 2B.

Thanks a million for the reply! The back of the speaker merely labels it as 8T. It has the number 03166 behind it. Is there any way to know for sure if it’s 8ts or 8tl?

Yes pull drivers out and look at the driver magnet.
Do you have a picture of the front with all drivers? -
This is a picture from the listing. -
Those are sl2000 tweeters so yes they should have mw6510 drivers.
I also see a torn surround on at least one driver. Tread carefully. -
And offer less than $65. They look beat. Be sure to give the drivers a push test and verify the magnets aren't shifted.

Thanks all.

More trouble than it’s worth

I saw them on FB Mkt tonight. A shame they got such abuse but likely fixable. I have some SL-2000 tweeters available if you need since it looks like someone poked a fish eye out.Stan

Not sure if my reading comprehension is failing me but I believe that @nikisota is looking to scavenge drivers out of the 8T's to fix his 11T's.

Yeah. I was looking to get a monitor out to replace one in a pair I’ve had since buying them new but seems like it might not be the best option. @skrol....do you have any mw6510 drivers?
