I replaced my RE tweets with these. Definately an improvement IMO. They may be too bright for your taste, but for ~$30shipped I'd say test them out. They should take a 2khz xover if its a higher order.

You could maybey get Dls Up1c tweeters from Tplaya07, though I am not sure if they are sold seperately. Funky grilles, but sound badass.http://www.dlsamerica.com/

mmm those bball grill look funky hehe.

liquid, how do they sound compared to other tweets you heard?

you can see them installed in my car here on the forum @ http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=125390 They look funky but sound awesome. They play down to around 4000hz with the stock crossovers, which is great for imaging- especially male vocals.

Hmmm, I hate comparing these since its been a couple of months since I've heard anything beside these or the RE tweets. They reminded me of some CDTs I heard before, I don't remember which set, but they were bright without being ear-fatiguing.

they are kinda bright, even after coming from an Infinity tweet, but you're right for

My plan is get some matching Dyn MD100's and break the bank

How about ribbons, the LCY's should work nicely with those

Flakko, for you I will be more detailed. I love the low end extension from the large format tweeters if you can make them fit, here are some others you could look into. I haven't heard all of these, but I have a lot of respect for those that have so I will give you the list that I compiled before buying my Scanspeak knockoffs. These are in the order that I determined from lots of reading.

Seas Millenium ~$320/pr, LCY K130 Ribbons $290/pr, Usher 9950c ~$100/pr, Dayton RS28 ~$100/pr , Scan-Speak Revelator ~$420/pr, Morel Supremo 130 $380/pr

After saying that I then settled on a set of Scanspeak D2904 knockoffs labeled as Alpine for $130/pr. Only because I can't do full kicks with a 5 speed in my car and fit myself in it. I tried multiple times to figure out how to mount a full size tweet on my sail panels, but it just wasn't worth the work. The other small format tweeters that seem interesting to me are the LGP 25/26's and the Rainbow Plats. Easier to mount still pretty good low end extension (I plan to cross my tweets at about 2kHz, when my DX-28 lands later this week). Oh, and I prefer silk to almost all of the metals that I have heard too...

I'd say tbfc over tdfc -- need all the efficiency you can squeeze to keep up with the mids //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif -- but yea a ribbon would be best -- just remember you have no vertical dispersion with ribbons and need critical *CRITICAL* positioning to get a proper sound out of them. – If you do this though… //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
