Suggested XO... to go with the WR125, you'd want to (at least) halve all the values for a 12k XO

Wow thanks Dave I appreciate it! Did you end up using them in any design? If so what were your impressions?

I had them for a design, but will probably sub in the budget ApexJr tweeter & save these for something better.... I haven't tried them yet, but i think i'll dig them out and pop them on top of my Coraled BD-Pipes to try out.

1. TM010A7 30mm gold cone (from Solen)

2. TM010A39 Micro Series 10mm ion deposited gold dome ,very small (from Madisound)

actually, my Solen Catalog shows the TM010A39 (which i've not seen a reference too before)...

Except fo rthe grill -- which i'd turf, it looks pretty much the same... for super-tweeter use these little tweeters should have it all over the big ones.

The pic in the catalog for the TM010A1 (except for the black color) is a better idea of what it looks like... i'll try to get a color pic later.

And -- maybe not with the CSS -- some creativity is small enuff to mount co-axially.

Weird, the solen website lists the 10a7, with this pic:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Definately let me know what you thought if you do.. I also think something tiny like this with the low mms and relatively high xmax should be better for supertweeter duty.

That's the baby... i'm a Solen dealer, i'd guess my dealer cat is more up to date. The TM010A7 i thot was discontinued.
