DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
SPH-170
Categories: 6-8 inch Bass / Midrange Speakers Monacor Drive Units
The Monacor SPH-170 is a 7.25 inch (185mm) midwoofer featuring a carbon damped polypropylene cone, an inverse soft butyl rubber surround, a powerful 100mm ferrite magnet system and a rigid diecast aluminium basket.
Drive units that feature a smaller diameter voice coil, a plastic cone & an inverse surround (such as the original Spendor BC1 bass unit) often offer a linear bandwidth with a very sweet midrange performance and that is indeed the case with the SPH-170. A good choice for BBC inspired 2 way stand mount designs.

Excellent customer service
Quick dispatch
Excellent advice from will as usual and exactly what I wanted. These have improved the sound of my current speakers and taken them to another level. Sounds superb I can hear tonal difference's between things that I never heard before. Superb bass drivers dig so deep.
As usual will has been outstanding.
Brilliant to deal with always helpful and gives great service.
What a brilliant capacitor, from first listen exceptional clarity and depth. Bargain will be buying more.
Swapped out the 30 yr old AlCap capacitors for the Audyn Q4 on Wills recommendation (along with a ferrofluid change). What a difference, added so much more definition and clarity. Very impressed. Audyns are a fair bit bigger size wise but fitted easily enough on the board and the access aperture on the TDL Studio 1's.
Good quality, fast postage, perfect! Thanks
Can fault the service and you always seem to have what others don’t, this can be critical when your hobby involves restoring vintage hifi .
