They aren't expensive, I bought a set of new ones in 1989 and another set a couple years ago for about $100. I've always liked Polk speakers.
Super fantastic? No, but for a $100 they are really nice. I'm going to use them for a HT set up when I get around to changing my room. 2 in the front, 2 in the back and I'll buy a center bar to go with them. My first set has been my desk/computer speakers for years. |

In addition, an aluminium coil has a lower inductance than a copper coil of equal resistance, and this reduces the rise in impedance at high frequencies. |

I agree with an earlier post about the Elac JET series. I've listened to (and own) speakers with JET II and JET III tweeters and IMO they are the best I've heard when it comes to high frequencies... the caveat being that they really need to cross at 2.5 kHz or higher, and most 6" drivers don't like that.
Interestingly, Quested has used the same Morel MDT30 since sometime in the 80s in all of their higher end products. It's about $80 at Madisound. Morel tweeters don't seem to get much love around here, but I listen to them every day in my Q108s and they really are a great driver. Even in really expensive systems like the QM412, they use the same Morel tweeter. The rest of the drivers are from Volt, so it's not like they're going for low-cost. Quested really doesn't have a big audiophile following (which is a real shame), but they're right up there with ATC in the world of studio monitoring. From a purely subjective standpoint, I think I prefer the JET tweeters, but I really think that they would be best at the top of a 3-way. Maybe if I can get my hands on a pair of them I'll build a 3-way with JET tweeters on the top and 10" volt woofers on the bottom. |

Hi guys! maybe a little late in the tread, but what about the SEAS H087 and later H086 found in early Dynaco speakers, among others. those must have reached production numbers in the millions

Given that over a million A25 alone wer sold, yes, at least a million.
