Superscope S-28 (Marantz Imperial 5s???)

Just picked these up, tweeter on one is dead (not sure why yet). They look identical to Imperial 5s, and are the exact same dimensions. The only discernible difference is the missing switch on the crossover and the Philips woofers, which I'm assuming were replaced. Anyone have any info? Are these just Imperial 5s with a simpler crossover?

Cheers

Edit: Thinking about replacing the tweeters with some Philips AD 0160 I have lying around. Thoughts?

Looks like them to me..... @Lavane has my set now......

They will sound great I bet when you get them both going!

Those Superscope's look like the 5's for sure. Superscope probably just deleted the tweeter level switch and two of the three resistors, leaving them in the normal position. Thats my guess anyway. Marantz Imperial 5 woofers do pop up on ebay. You'll just have to keep checking.
