I listen classical music. I got a pair of HPM-100 free from the local craigslist about one year ago. The speakers are very intact, and look like new. The only problem is that one of the two tweeters was burned up. So far I have used a replacement of Sony tweeter. It works just fine, and the sound is still amazing. Thare are the best speakers that I have ever heard. I like it very much. I wish I could have a chance to buy an original teweeter.

You may be aware of this already but E-Bay will have at any given time, @ 5 pairs of tweeters up for bid. If you are patience, you can find your exact model (** that should be listed on the back of the magnet ) at a fair price.

** model number should look something like this ( example: 45-711B ), there are several different models of tweeters in the HPM line.

Hi thanks for you suggestion. My question is "What are differences among different models?" Could you please provide more information? I found my model number is 45-711A, Is this different from the model 45-711B? Thanks so much!

I wish I could tell you the difference but I can't without guessing. I do know there were 2 types of HPM 100s. One was the 100 watt version and the other was the 200 watt version which will have a silver trim ring @ the speaker's port. ( just below the cone tweeter )
The two models seem to have no difference in the crossover values but the 200 watt version does use higher wattage rated components in some areas.
I have read some post about the difference in woofers/ mids/ tweets on the various HPM models but there is no Technicial Info to prove anything that I have ever ran across.

There could be a difference or they may be exactly the same with the B model being made later in time of the production run. It's really hard to say.
