Those sound mighty fine, also for two-way. Obviously too sissy for ZM, but, then he can just use more as in these open baffle speakers my friend and I made for fun.
Horn driven by a First Watt M2 clone (of course 😉) Crest amp for bottom.
Cant argue with that 🙂
Can you reveal if you are going to use 2 pcs. 1601a /side ?
Or is it like you usual logic that if somebody donate 2 pcs. 1601a more you will off cause use them 😛😛😛😛😛
They look very well built. The diaphragms on ribbons look fragile, do they perish with age? I have only listened to ribbon tweeters once and they were excellent, quite a different sound to normal tweeters.
The originals were damageable through overheating, the Mylar versions
are pretty resistant to melting.

Well I hope the config will be two 1601a pr. heil.
Then you have nearly matched the impedance and have nearly the same efficiency for the heil and the two 1601a.

But replace wooden horn in the middle with the heil could be a possibility or what do you think ??
My neighbor next door has a nice set with 2 X 1602's and the wooden horns with

Anybody have some input about lead time on these?
I ordered mine on May 30th and have not gotten any shipping info

Same with me, they don't answer to my request a week after order and payment. The order is dated 25 May
They list a California address where we are still under a stay at home order, and I don’t think they qualify as an essential business. On their website they mention delays processing orders. Nonetheless they should keep their customers updated, and respond to inquiries.
This is the closest I can get, I also have 2 active woofers ordered at a French dealer that cant get a specific date.
But here we go:
ESS AMT-1 AIR Motion Transformer 'Great Heil', Selected buy at hifisound.de
And above is the place where I bought (and got delivered) my 2 "new" ESS heils.
Msg from the French dealer 19 May concerning the 12 " active ESS woofers:
"Hi,
I just asked ESS about the ETA of their delivery, I'll let you know ASAP with their return.
Remaining at your disposal meanwhile,
Kind regards,

That's not a bad deal when you consider you're getting over $4000 worth of woofers alone! I wonder what compression driver is included in the package.
It's surprising how little info is out there for Augspurgers.
