Swans topmount tweeter

Fox313 · 17th May 2006, 11:15 AM

Hi all, as a newcomer in this forum i have to say my english isn't as good as it should be.

In Germany the Swans TN 28 isn't very popular because there are no plans or kits with this tweeter.

I'm searching for a small bookshelf speaker like the Swans 2.1.
Has anyone ever built speakers with the TN28?
I've seen the speakers from jleaman, very nice but far too big.

Any suggestions???

Thanks

.....Hi-Vi TN28 ($13) - Bonus points for a neat looking top mount
design. Minus points for energy storage at 8kHz. Tested in a
typical configuration on top of an enclosure. High F5 at 1.6kHz
will melt your ears if crossed over too low. Poor performer overall......

......the Hi-Vi TN28 isn't worth half of the $13 it costs......

Erg. Well, then, I had a possible use for the cool form-factor of the TN28, but that review doesn't sound too good. I guess I'll stick with plan 'B' which is to use the cheapie Dayton Neo - since I'm x-ing over 4k it looks like it'll be hard to beat among cheap tweets.

Doesn't help Fox313, though.
