hey there..figured someone here would know, so...

Is the '78 and later version of the '60' model, pretty much the
same as the '75-'77 model of the '100'?

Which parts/drivers are identical or different?

Thanks 2 all who might post

The woofers are different HPM 100 = 12 inch; HPM 60 = 10 inch. The cabinets are different HPM 100 = Walnut veneer and larger size; HPM 60 = vinyl. The cross overs are also different.

I would say different , have you heard sound comparisons ?
 
I run both HPM-100's and HPM-60's on two different but both completely restored (electronically) Pioneer SA-9100 amps

The 100's have more bass. The 60's are a little more musical. That said they do have a very similar sound. but the HPM-100 just has more of it.

The 100's are real wood veneer the 60's are vinyl
The 100's are 12" woofer compared to the 60's 10"ers
the 100's are 26" tall the 60's 24" tall.

Are the 100's the 200w version or the 100w version. I have the opportunity to pick up a pair and I am trying to decide if I really need the 200w version.
 
If they are cheap enough I would say you need them. What would it hurt to have a set of 200w hpm 100's as a back up? I rum mine with a 1980 and it sounds damn good, at least thats what my neighbors think.
 
Look on the back. It will say if they are 100W or 200W. Also if the port has the silver trim ring, they are the 200W version.
 
HPM100 vs HPM60

I have a pair of each and both are hooked up to my SX-1250. Individually each has their own tonal qualities because of the size. The 60's are a bit more robust because of their lower wattage need while the 100's need a bit more power for the base. Paired together with the mid and high settings adjusted just right they compliment each other and rock. I added an EQ so I could adjust and balance for the corner/wall in my room and that helped balance everything out. Buy them both if the price is right. :thmbsp:
