Hi Chris,
I don't know exactly how old my 6K's cuz I bought it used. At the back panel there is " Registered Design & Copyright 1999 " Does it mean they are 1999 or newer?
Thanks

Does it mean they are 1999 or newer? I could say something a little flippant, but... It's possible that your speakers are older than that, but the electronics (the whole back panel) have been upgraded. This is the case with my D6000s which were upgraded to 3xxxxx serial 96/24 electronics; their drive units will be a number of years older.

The original serial number should be on a sticker on the back of the heads, or possibly, under the glass on the top of the cabinet.

Hi VirusKiller,
Yes, there is a later serial # @ the back. Original S# is 20xxxx & new S# is 50xxxx. If this is the case, will they replace the cap on the amp as well?
Thanks

Ooh lucky you! 5xxxxx serials are really rare; your electronics boards are among the last ever made, perhaps even as late as 2008/9 (I can't quite remember when the DSP6000 was withdrawn from sale). I think you have some time before you need to consider maintenance!

I bought used upgraded 6000s summer 08 and they were not offered new at that time. I just missed out on the last new pair of 5000s M USA. I got the 6000s for $7,500 off Audiogon, as a consolation prize. Wonderful turn of events.

That's where I think the caps should be be replaced after time. Ken

As the entire backs of my D6000s are different, I assumed the upgrade involved all of the electronics. Maybe it does for D6000 -> 96/24, maybe not for DSP6000 -> 96/24.

Only the com PCB's were replaced when going from DSP6000 18 bit to DSP6000 96/24.
The hole electronics were changed on D6000.
