[bowdown]

Hi guys as the heading states, Whats the difference between the Vifa Xt25 and Xt300?? I am looking at building some speakers from this website:-

http://www.audiocomponents.nl/speakers/vifa/premium/vifa-premium_eng.htm

They use an XT300, i have searched on line but can not find the specs on it? Can i just change the tweeters and keep everything else the same??

Oh does anyone know how good these kits are? Do they sound any good?

Regards

Its not that often you see the XT30.

I can only guess that the XT25 is the 1" version and the XT30 is slight larger?

I'd be interested to know the differences too.

Hi

XT300 has aluminium faceplate and is found at some european shops, cheaper XT25 has plastic faceplate, found worldwide.

Love my PL18/XT25 Nebula 2-way, so you can save extra $ for quality caps.

Cheers,

JC

Simple! Gerd Lommersum, the German Vifa distributor, used to work for Intertechnik. This is where he learned the techniques of re-naming and customization of insignificant driver details, in order to quench parallel imports or reliance on OEM sources. The XT300 initally had an aluminum face plate and was sold at about 3x the price Madisound or OEM sources on ebay asked.


Interestingly, Intertechnik now pretty much carry the Seas and Peerless drivers as they appear on the manufacturer's public web pages (i.e. they carry most models and retain only very few specials). They still invent new names, but are less secretive about the manufacturers part ID.
