Does anyone have any interest in a pair of foster 49-1166 tweeters.

I have had them in my closet for over ten years and I took them out today to test them, still sound sweet as ever but I have no use for them, I may one day incorporate them into a speaker design but if someone else could put them to use now maybe that would be better.

I don't know what they are worth but I am open to offers.
Thanks for your time.;)

Efficiency is about 90-92 dB (i do have a ceramic version that is up around 96-97 dB). These regularily sell for $20 USD pair (althou when it is slow they sometimes sell for $15). They are excellent tweeters as fill in for a set of RS 1197s (should work well with 1354s too) or similar efficiency FRs.

The short version* is my personal favorite particularily for super tweeter use, the longer ones go lower (xo to 3-3.5k depending on XO steepness and are no slouches.

* i see Alain has already posted some of the data from this auction (note: the auction is mine, i've had many of this tweeter family throu here)

The number 7925 indicates 1979 manufacture.
