First up is the DLS IR1. This is one of the nicest tweeters I've ever got the pleasure to hear. The other tweeter from this set suffered some water damage, this one for sale is in great condition. It was ran off 50w rms active at 4khz 18db, and 5khz 12db... both of those setting sounded great on these tweets. Very smooth, not harsh at all. I originally wanted to find another single IR1 to go with but finances are tight and i traded some of my misc stuff for a set off DD T2 tweeters. The DD's will hold me off for a while till i eventually get another set of IR1's to go with my IR3's (which are also amazing midranges).
The tweeter also comes with an extra outter grill (from the water damaged other one).
Online these are $150 a set (without crossovers). I want 25 shipped for this tweet FIRM, no trades. There's a guy on DIYMA with another single IR1 tweet in great condition for 50 shipped, so you can likely get a set for cheap.
here's a link to specs:
DLS Ultimate Iridium1i tweeter
the domes could use a little wipe down to remove some dust. otherwise in good condition.

This other tweeter i got off a guy on DIYMA when i bought a set of bravox comps. I was told it's an ID CTX-25. I wanted to use this for a center ch on dash dash speaker but the project never materialized. After my DLS went out I used this as a fill in instead. Like the DLS's it was also played off 50w rms 5khz 12db and 4khz 18db. It sounded great, not as great as the other DLS, but still better than most other cheap tweeters ive used before.
