Banana plugs fitted

original 2 pin socket still in situ

Forgot to mention that there are a few broken pegs on the grills .

[TheFinisher]

All that I did was recap them and whilst doing so I noticed that the binding post positive was wired incorrectly so I swapped it around.
they were one of the best speakers I’ve ever heard and had

Hi , I sold the m100’s last year and they now live on west coast of USA .

[TheFinisher]

thanks .
I’m glad I decided to recap them as all of the Capacitors were way off ! I mean a 10uF measured over 50uf and all of the 47uf’s were over 97uf-103uf , no wonder these didn’t impress me like the other ones I had .

I agree, fantastic speakers.

[TheFinisher]

I do wonder how these would compare to the legendary Tandberg studio monitors

[TheFinisher]

Well if you’re ever passing MK you’re more than welcome to have a listen.

[TheFinisher]

I did enquire some months ago and they can supply with the replacement caps .

[TheFinisher]

Done just that , and saved over £100 by not replacing ?

 

Thanks

[TheFinisher]

So it would appear that you are correct.

is it ok to do so ?
they do sound very good , I mean end game speakers.

Surely the wrong values will have some effect on their performance?

Schematic               Capacitors currently installed

C2 16uf                     2x 8.2uf

C3 50uf                     47uf

C4 5uf                        4.7uf

C5 8uf                        8.2uf

C6 50uf                      47uf

C7 16uf                       15uf

C8 8uf                         8.2uf

C9 12uf                        15uf

C10 50uf                     47uf

C11 4uf                        4.7uf

I’ll do that thanks

[TheFinisher]

Hi Glitch , thanks for the reply. There are 2 soldered together to left of the 50 , thing is none of them match the values of those on the schematic.

[TheFinisher]

Update!
now I’m even more confused as I count 11 capacitors on my crossovers but there are 16 according to the schematic

Here you go ….
I was quite concerned driving home with the 100’s thinking “ she’ll go mad “ then to my surprise she actually likes them ?‍♂️

[TheFinisher]

Hi again Christian , I have replied to your pm . The stands are different for sure , the M100 ones are heavier duty and they need to be as there’s additional 7 kg’s to hold .

[TheFinisher]

Thanks again Andrew, I replied to you elsewhere!

I’ve got them hooked up to my Roksan K3 which I’ve found to be a superb amp with plenty of grunt too ( 130wpc )

I won’t be totally happy until I recap them myself.

cheers
