Motorola transistors


My amps currently have 15003/15004 transistor set. I've read that the 15022/15023 transistors are faster than the 15003/15004, has anyone tried the newer ones or can tell if changing them will have a noticeable effect on the amplifiers?

Thanks.

The actual part #'s are MJ15......
The MJ15003/4 are 20A, 150V, 25 min hfe, Ft = 2Mhz
The MJ15022/3 are 16A, 200V, 15 min hfe, Ft = 4 Mhz

It will depend on the actual amp design as to whether or not this swap will even work, much less give an improvement.
