was wondering how to take it apart. but seeing as its working fine paired with a small old sub i had lying around that will do me fine
Looking deeper, the difference may be that what i dissassembled were MH502, and i may never have seem a MH500

well new years eve, an i have just unearthed a minty MM-1000 set with working sub, only problem is the sub needs a stepdown power converter as i am in the uk, so i wont be using it. hooking the speakers up to a 50w dac/amp and sound sweet.
i may either sell the sub or at least try and upgrade it at some point

Just picked up a pair of MH-505 Satellites and matching sub. Satellites sound awesome... Does anyone know if there are better 3" drivers out there that can be easily swapped out? Does the swap involve re-designing a cross-over (I think beyond my ability).
Also, is there a $100-200 musical sub (powered or not) that might pair well with these, that crosses over at a higher frequency?
Thanks much!

Hi David, if you cross higher, you will localize the sub, which is not desirable.
100-150Hz max. Then you have to make two subs and place them under each satelite.

FaitalPro makes lots of nice 3" fullrange drivers. Yes, some measurents and spl matching will be required.
The 3FExx wants a significantly bigger box than the Monsoon has. Not sure how it differs from the many MH-502 i had thru here, but the midrange is more like 2.5”.
It sounds like you want to start from screatch but use the eletrodynamic tweeter? Tou might have sensitivity issues with most 3” FRs. Aura NS3 (Dayton does them now) could use some HF help and is a bass champion. But it needs a biggish box.

I made this frankenspeaker which has been my desktop mini-monitor for several years - better than my wildest hopes
The base is a radioshack cast alu ported box with a replaced tangband long throw mid-woofer , minor crossover tweaks, the box and planar have great synergy. I did measure this way back but don't have the graphs at hand.

How low are you taking the electrodynamic planar? If below 1kHz do you have the proper EQ applied?
