Audax 34mm Tweeter TW034X0 vs old HD13D34H

[maessen]

As you might know Audax went bust and later some ex employees started their own Audax company and make new versions of old speakers.

There is some difference in parameters and graphs.

I would be interested to know if there is any sonic difference between the new Audax TW034X0 vs old HD13D34H

I hope somebody tried both and can tell.

I have the same question. Is the TW 034x0 a direct replacement for the HD13D34?

The original Audax Tweeters in my Tangent SPL 5 speakers were the HD13D34 and I'm trying to replace them since it looks as though they can't be repaired. Has anyone used the voice coil ( diaphragm) of the TW034x0 tweeter ( I believe it's model number is RW034x0) with the HD13D34 ?

I've got a pair of HD13D34H for 20 years.
Now they are back in use, voice coil replaced 😉

Here you can find usefull informations :
Atelier de réparation et vente de haut-parleurs AUDAX
Just through a mail to Mr HOULBERT, he'll give you an advised answer.
I don't remember which reference I took 3 years ago... seems to be RW034X0.
They sound very good to me, right now I'm listening to "Riders on the storm".
Cheers

PS : audax speaker units from cadaudio.dk they sell brand new unit for 48€ vs 31€ for new voice coil.

Hi,

Pro 21 Monitor from Hobby Hifi, see Downloads section at audax-speaker.de :

Please note that this is the XP version of the TW034 used in this design.

There was another design on an italian web site, I will look in my archives.
You can PM for more informations.

Hi Marsden, I too would be interested to know if your findings. As an upgrade path, I am thinking of replacing the original Audax drivers with the new type which claims superior technology. but I wish to confirm first that it would be beneficial. Thanks

Hi, IMHO just the voice coil has changed of matérial.

As far as I know they didn't go bust, they just stopped selling to the DIY market.

I recall something about Harman International buying Audax and then shutting it down, and then the employees reviving it. Madisound sells Audax.
This is an example of an old thread that is worth reviving, considering how central the brand was to a few hundred speaker companies small and large and thousands of hobbyists

Just wanted to say.....
(In my probably pointless subjective opinion) I really like the sound of the TW034. Its my favorite soft dome. Closest dome I've found to a compression driver for dynamics.
