Default Kef 104/2 T33 Tweeter Mutant Euphony

Just to pass on my experiences with KEF 104/2 T33 Tweeters.
I have owned my Kef 104/2 since 1996. They are 1st revision? With Gold speaker connectors,Rubber bass unit surrounds but not the bi-wire.
I always felt the top end was lacking compared to the LS3/5a. I ended up using a pair of Tandy Linaeum Ribbon Tweeters bought cheap when Tandy UK closed down.
Have tried other tweeters in place of T33’s as per the many recommendations on the internet, Morel, Peerless et al but felt none kept the same smooth sound, most adding a lower treble hardness.
So to the point of this post. I recently fitted a pair of Mutant Euphony 6.5” speakers in the rear of my car, after 3 failed attempts at getting the sound right. These were excellent despite Mutants reputions for cheap speakers. Almost like the Kef B110 I had fitted as a temporary measure.
So had I two Tweeters spare from the kit. Size of the Silk Dome was identical to Kef T33. (Looked identical) with High power handling and at 4ohms, the specs looked good. Neodydium Magnets so much smaller diameter.
Well, fitted them with the casing and their diffuser grille which gives the ability to rotate axis of tweeter.
All can say is wow! Sound is like before but with a beneficial increase in the upper registers.
These are discontinued now but should be readily available. I Paid about ukŁ35 for the whole set of 6.5” Tweeters Crossovers as a Car kit.

Hope this helps.
