Hey, I have a pair of EV Sentry 100 2 way studio monitors. They are a great pair of monitors but a previous owner replaced the original EV 8's with Radio Shack ones. They do pretty well but nothing like an EV us made 8 would. Anyway, if anyone knows what the correct replacement is or if you are familiar with the monitors, what a good "parts express" replacement would be?
Help on EV Sentry 100 Monitors?

It's EV Part # 808-665. Should be an 8" woofer with a 2" voice coil.
You can get tech info for it, from Electrovoice:

It's possible that you MIGHT be able to order one... depends on whether they still have any, for a speaker of that age. Not an impossibility, but you'll just have to find out. You can call them at the Morrilton AR plant, from the phone number listed on this web page:

If you're gonna get a retro-fit woofer from Parts Express, my gut instinct tells me that this one would probably be more like the parameters of the original woofer (and hopefully, the sound):

Most EV woofers are low-Qts and high-Vas... this one definitely fits the pattern. It's also got a 2" voice coil and a similar size magnet to the original, IIRC...
Regards,
Gordon.

Hey, thanks a lot! I have been looking at pics too, the stock woofer looks a whole lot like a pair of JBL 8's I have laying around, I think I'll resurround those and give them a chance. I think I also have a pair of those Pioneer drivers here too, I got them out of a pair of amateurly repaired ADS. Maybe I could save a few clams.

Just to update, I just ordered a complete set of woofers and tweeter lenses from EV:
1-800-685-2606
The woofers are $79.00.
The lenses are:
70534: $1.00
70604: $3.68
One of the lenses is out of stock but in production.
They "should be here" soon.

Nice to know that EV will work direct with the consumer on a "pro" model. Thanks. I've got a pair of Sentry 100a's that have plans to live in the garage once we complete that project. Though my woofers are fine right now, there's no telling when you might need replacements. I had to replace the tweeters last year and it took months for a set to pop up on that auction site. :tears:
