Tropicalized means it’s made to survive in more extreme climates. Notice how a lot of components are not mounted straight on the PCB, but with a little space for heat dissipation. I have a set of 567’s here, completely recapped and I can confidently say I can’t see myself ever feel the need to buy something better. The only speakers that are better are probably the 545’s, but these are extremely rare.

Tropicalized might mean that it's resistant to the high humidity levels of the tropics.

Seeing this speaker reminds me of "Back to Future." Since lot of the features on this speakers are currently on active speakers/studio monitors nowadays.

These appear to be actual studio monitors... Going by what you said about their treble response sounds like they were meant to be near field monitors.... They are deliberately designed to sound terrible... As one recording engineer said about the Yamaha NS-10 non powered near field monitors that also have a very flat frequency response and sound terrible as HiFi speakers... If you can make the mix sound good on these... The mix will sound good anywhere... And those Phillips capacitors... Hmmmm I just love those things... They are very high end... I wouldn't be surprised if they were rated at 125°c... They are still available on eBay.... And they aren't cheap either but I buy them from time to time to keep plenty of stock... I didn't know that these Phillips monitors even existed until I saw them in your video... But now I'm going to look out for a pair... Or even just one will do....

Studio monitors sound terrible because they're very flat. The tweeters on these are about as far from flat as you can get. They're absolutely awful as studio monitors in their stock form, lol.

Yeah your probably right... After all I only heard them through my phone speaker LoL. I guess that it all comes down to application. You're intended purpose for them is different to what someone else might use them for... Sometimes you find something like when I was given a portable battery powered mono speaker that was designed to be used like what we now call a Bluetooth speaker... I started using it to listen to the final audio mix because I read somewhere that it's ideal to listen to the final audio mix in mono and I was totally blown away over the fact that I can really pick out all the level errors and this little 3 inch speaker which didn't really reproduce the whole frequency spectrum allowed me to listen to the levels instead of making the sound good to be enjoyed.... The only other trick that I know can achieve similar results is to play the recording and walk away from the speakers and do something else around the house and you will notice when something in the audio is way too loud... Try it with one of your own videos and you will see what I mean... When you do the audio test... The level difference between you talking and the speaker test is huge.... It's not a criticism towards you... It's just me trying to get my point across and if I have helped someone in the process... I'm happy ;)

Hello, can you please tell me if it is possible to use only a part of the circuit of the electro-mechanical-feedback-system for use in other active speakers? If I make a sensor myself, for sure it's the same type there as in the bells from the USSR of the 80s as radiotechnica s70 here is the link donex-ua.narod.ru/indexphp/as-ussr/29-as-ussr- all / 171-s70.htm can be translated by a translator if you need there is a diagram below

Hi, I have a pair of these and have had some of the caps replaced. They sound really great. A lot of people who hear them think I have a subwoofer hidden somewhere in the room. Lol. Good luck with yours. Please advise where did you get the schematics from. I could really use a copy. Mike
