Question is

Can the B200 - SP1256's of the 105/3 be replaced with the B200 - SP1188 from the 104/2 ?

At least this has been done in my 105/3's by the privious owner, but do they have the same specs and do they match the system crossover - impedance etc. ?

I do feel they are a bit low on bass compared to the memory of my first 105/3's which i had from new.. Wink

Sorry, don't know exact answer but the 1256 was also used in the production 104/2 when they changed to bi-wire terminals.

They also changed the SP number of the 104/2. This could either mean a significant change to crossover or just the fact the bi-wire was added. If you could find the crossover schematics of both 104/2s system SP3037 and SP3128 and if the values in the bass crossover are similar, then it's perhaps a good chance the drive unit parameters were similar enough to be interchangeable? If the crossover values are much changed, then maybe not such a good sign since the box parameters remained the same?

Hi Proffski
Did you ever find the schematic ?. It would be quite good to know if SP1188 is basically the same as SP1256

Yes, then mislaid again. I saw them a month ago and may even have the scans.
The original is about a metre square sheet! Apologies for the delay. I'll post here once found.
