These industrially-styled monitors incorporated an unusual circuit which introduces a 30db pad when the speaker THD exceeds 1%.  Crazy.  Anyone?

Dear Bas,

I have a pair of these monitors as well, but it appears the mid-range units have been replaced with . Could you perhaps give me a reference number of the original driver that was used, so that I can check if the replacement was at all suitable?

Thanks,

I’m looking to buy a set of these but the price seems steep @ 150 euro. Any ideas about the value?
