Which ribbon tweeter?

Sony · 24th May 2005, 06:44 PM

What ribbon tweeter would you recommend me for a 2-way loudspeaker project?

The main data:
- Crossover point at 2.5KHz.
- Made (or sold) in Europe.
- Transparent sound, superior to non-ribbon tweeters at the same price.
- Price up to 200Eur per unit.

Thanks and regards

I'll second the LCY recomendation..possibly the best tweeter currently available within its bandwidth.

If the xo- point at 2,5 kHz isn't a must, why not use a Visaton MHT 12?

Newly avaiable with minor modifications and as selected pair (selection costs 25 EUR extra per pair)...

IMHO

Every time i turn around there are more ribbons & psuedo-ribbons... great for someone averse to domes.

Thanks for the tips!

The Visaton seems to be an interesting option, if crossed at 3KHz.

I have noticed they have drivers of all kind.

What do you think about the Visaton woofers with aluminium cones?

Well, I'm using the "AL 170" in my current system. They need a little correction to handle their membrane resonances, but they are worth the money...
I'm planning to use the "AL 130 M" (out of stock) in a classic 3- way- System when the time is ready for it...
But I heard the "AL 130" in a comparision to the "TI 100 M", and there wasn't much difference between them...

But like all aluminium cones:
If you can handle the resonances, they are really good.

Benny the 2. · 25th May 2005, 02:16 PM

Oooops, my fault...

I heard the "AL 130" in a test together with the "TI 100" (not the "M"- model)...

And maybe one of my next speakers will contain the "AL 200" too...

****, why am I not allowed to edit my posts at any time?

The lcy one looks interesting , round but ribbon in the middle in a rectangular shape. But I couldn't get to more detailed data.
