I have found some Monitors 7B's. Would you buy Monitor 7B's with a blown driver? How much would you pay for them if you did buy them? Rated at 7 out of 10.

Thanks,

    Which driver?
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    Frozen or blown. Frozen is a dropped cabinet; woops. $48 and you're down the road. It's worth bothering with. $25 sure.

    If it's truely a melted vioce coil, that is evidence of abuse and every other component is suspect. Walk on that.

    Say you put 50 bucks into them, not knowing the exact price for the driver with shipping. Are they worth 115 bucks to you?
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    I'd grab them if they looked decent. You wouldn't need to upgrade the tweeters, and you can get the MW pretty cheap.

    maybe the fuse is just blown on one of the tweeter and it's not blown at all.
