I would suggest the scan speak drivers mentioned above and tone controls. Youre limited to the aerius box volume.

Duke I just realized it's the small parts you don't need, I thought a board needing repair. Please excuse, sorry for the confusion.

Duke I would love to have those parts please, More than happy to compensate you. Bill

And also, what are the specs? Not mentioned anywhere in the manual. Wow, how did i miss that! 🤦‍♂️

Thank you very much Alex! Bill

Would anyone out there have a Monolith II owners manual? I'd love to have a copy or an original. Just aquired a pair of these speakers, they're huge! They dwarf my Tyler Acoustics Decade X SE, and they're big. The original owners manuals have specs and other data, and I'd just like to have one...

Measure the woofer enclosure and calculate volume in cuft, find crossover freq and slope for Monolith3, calculate port volume and tuning freq for the box, then find the best woofer to match these parameters. Help with this on DIY audio.com etc... whatever woofer is in there now is prob not...

Rino, I don't have the model number for the Vifas used in the Aerius but someone here certainly should. I would think they would have been discontinued by ML and were supplied with a ML part number, I would call ML service or Vifa and see if they can provide a proper replacement model. If you...

The vifas are a more expensive cast aluminum basket speaker, imho a much better speaker and im sure the eminence was subbed to cut cost. Ive built lots of speakers and always loved Vifas. Ill swap you woofers any time. 😅 Btw… i wouldnt anticipate needing to replace them anytime soon unless they...

Wow, that's a bummer. It's not factory done at least. Maybe a previous owner thought it would be better if glued on? At least the crossover and power supply boards will come out through the woofer hole. (y)

Dr, the backs will come off. Proper tools will mitigate damage. I use the weight of the panel to advantage by suspending speaker face up and whack the rear edges (carefully) around the panel until the panel begins to drop. You can also push on the panel through the woofer hole to help. Once off...

Carefully, with one hand in your pocket and a high voltage probe on your multimeter. Caps in the voltage multiplier store voltage even when unplugged...

Well, I decided to replace all those components, any can be leaky under load etc... and they're pretty old.

All caps and carbon diodes check ok with one leg lifted, all zeners (z3-z13) except z13, measure similar dc resistance. Maybe this is the culprit? Iirc it seems open/dc. Have no way to test zeners. Triac checks ok with ohmmeter. I have all diodes, capacitors and triac ordered to replace in this...
