I just purchased these and they are on the way. Bought them off of Audiogon. Any suggestions on upgrading them (Tweeter's Crossover's or anything else). I will include a link to them so someone may be able to tell which version these are. I think there was an a, b and c model. Any insight would be great!

    Welcome to the forum shanedrew.

    They look to be in nice shape. I like Oak.

    I don't know much about Monitors, other than the tweeters look like the SL2000's in my SDA's. According to the parts list, 7C's came with SL2000 tweeters. There is a replacement for that tweeter that isn't as bright sounding. Depends on what you like though.
    Salk SoundScape 8's * Audio Research Reference 3 * Bottlehead Eros Phono * Park's Audio Budgie SUT * Krell KSA-250 * Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ * Signature Series Sonore Music Server w/Deux PS * Roon * Gustard R26 DAC / Singxer SU-6 DDC * Heavy Plinth Lenco L75 Idler Drive * AA MG-1 Linear Air Bearing Arm * AT33PTG/II & Denon 103R * Richard Gray 600S * NHT B-12d subs * GIK Acoustic Treatments * Sennheiser HD650 *

    The tweeter you are speaking of, is it the silk one? I prefer the silk over the harddome. Thanks for the reply

    Yeah, you can easily replace those with the new silk tweeters. I'd also make sure the seal is nice and tight if it isn't already.
