Awhile back adason was praising these after getting some from PE at buyout prices ($14.95? ea.) so I figured at that price i‘d get a few (8 to be exact) they were hanging around waiting for me to make an adapter plate to try them on my burhoe/genesis franken speakers…….then one day i’m poking around fleabay and find printed adapters for this tweeter but not the right size to match the burhoe plate……so i contact him and he says he can custom make them for me for the same price ($20 pr.) if i send him a precise drawing….awesome! Here’s his handle https://www.ebay.com/usr/chris-1111 …….says he can make any custom plate needed.
So today I decided to put them together and am quite impressed, as per burhoe design I ended up up with a single series cap (2.7uf) which calculates to 9.8khz which is where my mid starts to roll off, sensitivity was perfect to run straight no l-pad…….gotta tell ya they’re pretty awesome even at high volume…….clear,calm,collected, and best of all my lacking air is back! Maybe a little more laid back than i was used to but i’m thinking i was used to distortion! There’s much more detail just a little softer……less tiring to listen to for sure. I might have a bit too much overlap @ 8-9k as its a bit hotter there than it was with my previous ‘Human speakers’ replica inverted tweets. (reason for change was the Humans fell out like a rock @ 14k ……no air) will probably try a little smaller cap if it continues to bother me.
Well thats the good news…..bad news is when I went get a link from PE to put in here but they are gone! Some might still be found elsewhere with enough digging? That is if anyone is interested in them.

I know a bit subjective but I was just surprised at the sound, this was my first go round with a ribbon tweeter and it now has me wondering what a higher quality version might sound like……dang FOMO bug! 😎
