I've had my monitor 7's since I bought them new in the summer of 1990 right before I started college. Amazing speakers still to this day imo.

Anywho, my radiator on one of them is shot. It's buzzing/farting/popping at moderate to high volume.

I know I can replace the radiator but I take it I should replace both?

The serial #'s are 9006750 & 9006751. Any info would be appreciated!

    Being passive they rarely go bad, are you sure it's not one of the mid drivers? If it is the PR you can not buy a new one, however you can most likely fix it. Remove the PR and check for seperated pieces. If that is the problem simply reglue the pieces.
