Spoke to Willy's regarding replacements for my Mission 737R speakers. Advised these would be ideal with a little modification to my cabinets. They arrived next day and needed very little work to fit. Sounds superb!!
Thanks Willy's l highly recommend your company.

I used these two speakers to replace the woofers on my Accoustic Research AR-6 speakers. One of the AR-6 units had developed a fault so I purchased two to provide a matched set. The ordering process was very easy via the website and delivery was fast. The Monacor speakers were well packed and replacement was easy.
I'm happy to report that they perform very well and my trusty AR-6 speakers sound as good as new.
Many thanks to everyone at Willy's Hi-Fi.
Thanks for the review Kenneth !

Hi Will,
I just wanted to say how happy I am with the replacement mid/bass drivers that you supplied for a pair of Mission 700 speakers that I was refurbishing for a friend. Very well packaged, perfect fit, sound fantastic and cheaper than anywhere else!
It is probably unfair to compare the original mission drive units to these replacements but the difference in build quality and sheer bulk of the new ones is impressive. They sound awesome!
My mate is very impressed and so am I. The only downside is that I now miss the Mission 770s that I sold back in the 80s!
Great service,
Thanks so much,
Nigel Darling.
Thankyou for your review !

Quick dispatch
As always, items arrived nicely packed and promptly.
I purchased these as substitutes for another driver that was used in a transmission line design. The old drivers had way too high a Q and sounded a bit boomy.
I chose these mainly because the diameter was exactly the same as the original drivers, meaning no cabinet reworking :)
They behaved very well in the transmission line cabinet and don't exhibit any peaks or nulls in the response. Very easy to work with and the 2nd order crossover couldn't be much simpler, crossed at around 2.4K which was mainly determined by the DT105 tweeter I was using, the drivers blend really well together.
Overall these are a very good sounding driver with a natural and neutral sound.
For those interested, I have included pictures of the speaker, crossover and measurements.
Tip: Run these drivers in before measuring and designing the crossover!
Good service well packed
I've needed something like this for years, fantastic product and a lovely company to deal with. Won't be my last purchase from them
It was a nice experience to send the old filters to the UK (from the Netherlands) and get them surprisingly fast back (taking the overseas shipment into account). At first I did it wrong since I also replaced the drivers that could also be connected in a 4/6 Ohm (double coil). But after correcting and calibrating my receiver the speakers sounded great.
Thanks!
Used in a DIY LS3/5a project, with Morel CAT 298 tweeters and custom crossovers using ClarityCap CSAs. Super pleased with these woofers! I think they synergize well with the “live” thin-wall LS3/5a cabinets. The sound is neither bloated, nor thin, just revealing, spacious, and with very lifelike tone. I’m so happy with the results of this project and had a great buying experience with Willy’s. Thank you!!
