Monitor 10 Crossover values

Posts: 37
I have a pair of original Monitor 10s that I would like to redo
the crossovers. They have lost detail over the years (30ish).
Is there anyone who has done this and has the values and would
part with the information? Also, have you seen a improvement in
detail as seen by others redoing thier crossovers in other models.
Also, any preferences on caps, etc. Solens, Sonicap, others? Any other suggestions to bring them up a level? I like them alot, but I don't like
the 6 ohm impedance and HT setups with them. Thanks!
P.S. this forum is cool! Lots of audio freaks, I like it!

As for the 6 ohms I wouldn't worry about it. Yes the upgrade of the caps, and the resistors can make a big difference depending on your system.

I use solen caps and mills resistors. I have been happy with both. You will here some chime in and suggest sonicaps, but they are about 3 times more expensive.
