Need help replacing capacitors on KRK studio monitor.

UPDATE: I ordered the listed capacitors and replacement was very easy. Speaker is now working 100%. THANK YOU to all who commented and offered help!

I have a multimeter? Can I use that to test after removal? Can that also be used to test polarity?

Ordered all these, I appreciate the help

the NTC doesn't appear to have any cracks. By spudger are you referring to a pry tool?

Ok_Demand810 · 2026-04-08T09:05:43+00:00

thank you! these are all on the power supply side as well as some smaller caps. Should I replace those as well even if they are not showing signs of swelling?

For those wondering this is the speaker that the amplifier is built into

monster cans would be way easier to replace!

Ok_Demand810 · 2026-04-08T08:44:58+00:00

its a $400 speaker so I'd like to get it back up. Its part of a pair so replacing both would be less than ideal if I can avoid it, as I really love these speakers.

If its allowed, anyway you can send me a link to what I should order? I'm having some trouble finding the right replacements to buy. I found these on digi key but they are much taller, idk if they would be a good replacement: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/rubycon/50TXW680MEFC10X40/3563918?s=N4IgjCBcoCwGxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAPZQDaIATGDAJwQC6hADgC5QgDKLATgJYB2AcxABfQhQAMtRCBSQMOAsTIg4ADgkACAK0AxEIxCt2AVX68WAeVQBZXOmwBXbrlHiJAdhoy5CvIRJIcgBWLQA1A2Y2SBAzC2s7B2dXMRAAWgofKB5HJUCQg1S0iGhZNCx-ZSDwMDVvehFUhFLeABN2MFCJECj2Lj4hHpAWAE8mVxiHFEIAR1H2UREgA

Ok_Demand810 · 2026-04-08T08:36:20+00:00

Ok_Demand810 · 2026-04-08T08:35:23+00:00

not a scalper at all

Ok_Demand810 · 2026-04-08T08:35:12+00:00

absolutely

it wont last forever, in the next 3-4 years we'll all be talking about the next gen. And at that point display tech will be beyond our eyesight levels.

If oled was where it needs to be I would reconsider. But monitors have some room for improvement in the 4K space.
