Hello. First post here 🙂
I'm looking for complete speaker designs/builds that utilize this tweeter. Specifically, I'm looking for an efficient (88db+) bookshelf with preferrably a high-value 6.5inch or bigger driver.
Any leads? I've been trying to search for one for hours but can't find anything.
Thanks!

Hi,
Perhaps not exactly what you are looking for, but better than nothing:
The Aurum Cantus AST2560 is sold in Germany by hifisound under the name Harwood AM 25: Harwood Acoustics AM 25 AIR Motion Transformer kaufen bei hifisound.de
There are at least two designs using that tweeter paired with one or two 5" midwoofers which most probably are Aurum Cantus as well:
Harwood Monitor 13 AM - Bausatz ohne Gehause kaufen bei hifisound.de
Harwood Monitor 23 AM - Bausatz ohne Gehause Standard kaufen bei hifisound.de
Full construction plans of both designs are available as pdf, just download "Testbericht Hobby Hifi (DE)".

Be careful when working with the 2560's. The diaphragm isn't locked into place and they can fall out when you work with them.
Unless you are going active you want higher than 88db efficiency to match these.
Grant.

This is what the diaphragm's look like if you haven't seen one before. The center is strings of hollow very thin plastic tubes.
I've got 2 dogs and they often walk into the room and tilt their heads looking at the speakers. The AST's definitely go to high frequencies.
That's awesome. I really want to build a speaker with these tweeters. Thanks for the info!
I know tacoman5000 is interested in this project:
Aurum cantus
I'm getting a bit confused here. This design uses a different tweeter by the look of it. An Aurum Cantus G3i. And a 6" Carbon fibre AC180/50C2C.
Not quite the same tweeter as this doable Harwood AM25 (aka AC 2560?) 5" MTM that Dissi dug up:
Harwood Monitor 23 AM - Bausatz ohne Gehause Standard kaufen bei hifisound.de
Seems like Aurum Cantus make a load of tweeters:
Aurum Cantus - Speakers, Woofers, Subwoofers, Ribbon Tweeters, Diaphragms, Replacement Speakers, Subwoofer Driver, Woofer Speakers, Bass Speakers, Raw Speakers
I really think this is a huge project to do from scratch. I'd look around for something easier.

Yes, it's a different tweeter. I mentioned in the other thread I started that this interest in ribbon tweeters started with that particular model of speakers, and I want to equal or better the sound of those speakers with newer and better drivers. Hence, the AST2560 which is also made by Aurum Cantus.
Looking for recommendations for ribbon tweeter 2-way designs
This is why I didn't want to start another thread by the way 🙂
