I have a pair of Monitor 5's that need new drivers. Can I swap a pair of MW7008's for the MW6502's? Thanks!

    One way to find out...

    Actually, I have been having trouble with Monitor 5's I've purchased off ebay coming in with damaged drivers..........the latest pair makes two pair that have had damaged drivers in shipment. The first pair of Monitor 5's that came in were somewhat beat up so I replaced the drivers with MW7008 drivers that I bought off ebay and to my ear they sound fine. Now I need to replace a pair of drivers on my second Monitor 5 purchase off ebay and I noticed there are some MW7008 drivers for sale on ebay right now. Soooooo............I got to wondering exactly what application the MW7008's were used for and in checking here on this site, I only found two speakers using MW7008's.........the AWM5 and the AB805. I have no idea what kind of speakers these are..........could someone enlighten me with a description or, better yet, a photo? If these speakers are ported, can you use drivers from ported speakers in the Monitor series? Thanks in advance!
