New Mundorf AMTs

[Paul Ebert]

Mundorf has a new, more affordable, line of AMTs on their website:

HIFIAMT U.SERIES

I'm especially interested in the U80W1.1 as a potential match for my Purifi PTT6.5s.

Has anyone heard anything about when they might be available or know anything about them?

There is a review in Germany in "Hobby Hifi" 6 / 2020.

Frankly, they are just crazy with their price at Mundörf ! I suspect an amt being easier so less expensive to manufacture than a neodynium tweeter. Not sure they sell tons of them with such a price whatever the measurments... Just two cents marketing for fools ! A single AMT is costing more than a Miele Whashing Machine that is itself twice expensive than a Siemens !


If they want to have a commercial sucess they should sell the top line at the price of the one you're linking ! Or people will continue to purchase Dayton AMTs...

I think an AMT must be very hard to make well, epically as I have never heard one that was.

There are few that do the things well as the Mundorfs' but it is certainly a dificult exercice to marry it with a cone driver, horizontal dispersion to match around the crossover I surmise, as the vertical patern are quite different... asking myself btw if it is not because of that GoldenEars loudspeakers use them in D'Apolitto config?


Anyway, certainly a good alternative to some famous Ribons brands from the East Europe.

I'm thinking about pair of Dayton RS180 or maybe Visaton AL170 and U80 or U110 on top..
