Hi all,

Skeptic has got me going on his 901 modifications, and I'm thinking about doing something similar. I looked on partsexpress.com for external tweeters similar to those found on B&W and Swan speakers, but I couldn't find any. Does anyone know of a place to buy high-quality external tweeters?

Thanks!
Adam

I guess you missed one. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&PartNumber=297-409&DID=7 Hi Vi makes all the drivers put in swan speakers so they probably use this tweeter in one of their models.

Thanks, Joey. I thought I had looked through every page of dome tweeters, but there it is right in front of me. It certainly looks identical to the Swan tweeter. If I ever ever have the time and gumption to try Skeptic's hair-brained 901 modifications, I now know where to get the tweeters.

Thanks again,
Adam

DMB FAN, visit Townshend Audio's web site at www.townshendaudio.com and read all about their audiophile add on super tweeters, they do everything that Townshend claim.

Check madisound.com for a good selection of tweeters. Vifa are good value.
