Ever use the Beston RT002a dipolar?

I'm interested in using the Beston RT002a dipolar in an OB. Anyone use this tweeter? Thanks in advance.

BESTON Technology Corporation

The page won't let me link directly to them but they are under "Ribbon Drivers". I am interested in these as well, hopefully Parts Express will sell them soon.

There is no North American dealers. You must deal directly with Beston(China).

Just realized you are probably the same person as kenny_k on the PE forums. Thanks for taking the plunge with these!

Yup.

Re: sound of Beston RT002a bipolar ribbon tweeter

Any report yet on the sound of these? I'm very interested for use in a 2-way open baffle - for example with Wild Burrow Betsy driver. If these don't sound good, what other bipolar tweeters are there there besides the expensive Heil AMT's?

Check out Bohlender Graebener Neo Planars, the smallest Neo3W has a removable back for dipole use. Also, Dayton Audio makes a dipole air motion transformer (AMTPRO-4) that is less expensive than the Heil.

I'm using them in DIY-NY "Iron Driver" comp. Will update with attendees impressions.
Got a down-n-dirty FR and distortion grafts.
