Hi!
I'm new here and would like to say hello to everyone. Greetings from Poland! π
Few weeks ago I have bought pair of Restek Optima mfb speakers. They sound fantastic and i would like to find a sheme or servicemanual just to know how it is built. I have asked AndrΓ© Overweel first and he suggested me to ask you on the forums. So maybe somebody have this scheme and could share it with me. It would be fantastic!

You could use the search function of the forum... some interesting articles about restek and also someone who claims he has the service manual.
You might need to use babelfish if you can't read dutch however.
The restek Optima seems to be similar to the 541 from philips, concerning the units, but the electronics may differ. It should be only one amplifier, is that correct? Because they built also a type called LASER which used the units from the 532.
Pozdrowienie z Hollandii π

yes, I used search function but it is really hard to understand your language for me π
-> Zapper
looking at Philips 541 i can see some simirairies. Units seems to be the same. Restek use MJ2501/MJ3001 but they are darlingtons too. But pcb layout is different.
Thanks for your greetings in my language. Only 2 small mistakes π
MJ 2501 and 3001 philips used them in the 532.
And I speak a bit Polish but not perfect. Well, your premier does not either π
Zapper,
you are right, i can see MJ 2501/3001 pair on 542 photos so maybe amplifier in Optima is very similar. I will make a photo of restek amp and will place here.
Last time our premier show us that he don't know lyrics of our national anthem π
What is your relation to Poland?
Hi, i was first time there in 1993 or so, then i learned 4 years polish (just for fun, to be able to talk next time when i went there) then i met my wife in Poland, so now i hear polish tv every evening π
There are nice hobby-sites in poland, with service info and so, i did find already some cd docs, but if you have nice links for us it's welcome π
Nice to hear your story Zapper, I have big respect to everybody who try to learn Polish language because it is very dificult language with strange grammar.
Yes, we have a lot of hobby-sites but all i know are in Polish language. Common known forums about audio is:

If you find something interestng just make a new thread in English. Many of us can speak English and mostly they can speak better than me π
Say "Pozdrowienia z Polski!" to your wife π

Thank you very much! π

I hope this is the good scheme, because I see only one loudspeaker. Though it must be because there is a component in it called "sensor" and that may be the piezo element.
It looks complete different than the 541.
And now i'm waitng for 22AH587 π
They should be delivered this friday π
