    The Peerless equipped Monitor 7's used a slightly different crossover. They had 2.7 and 4.5 ohm resistors in the signal path, rather than the 2.0 ohm resistor on the SL-2000 equipped Monitor 7's.....
    Thanks Curt...do yours have a 4.5Ω vs the 4.7Ω Jimbo's had?

    Where in the circuit path are they located? It is hard to tell from the pic Jimbo posted what is the signal path.

    FYI: Both my 7b's( with SL1000's) and my 7c's (with SL2000's) have the 2.7Ω resisters. BUT they are both fused, so maybe (?) the change from 2.7Ω to 2.0Ω ( which would include the Peerless) was part of the switch from fused to Polyswitch, since I have read of ppl including a 0.5Ω resister in place of the Polyswitch.

    God there sure are a plethora of variants for the 7 Series speakers.

    Tube amps bring out the best in the Monitor 7's. The heart of my system is a Marantz 8B tube amp rated at 30 watts per channel. That's a REAL rating.
    I still can't decide whether I like the Monitor 7's or 10's better. The 7's have a better soundstage than the 10's
