Morel MDT29-4 (4 ohm) 1" Textile dome tweeter

Bonjour,
j'ai longtemps hésité avant de choisir les MDT 29-4,
après avoir changé tous les condensateurs des filtres mes KEF 104-4 et procéder au remplacement de tweeters, il faut le dire, il faut bien bien attendre un bon mois de rodage avant de ce prononcer!
Le rendu est super, l'image sonore des KEF est fantastique aucune acidité ou agressivité, j'ai enfin trouvé une paire de tweeters d'origine, je vais comparer et si les MDT 29-4 sont meilleurs je n'hésiterais pas cette fois !
bonne écoute
Christian

Hello,
I hesitated for a long time before choosing the MDT 29-4,
after changing all the capacitors of my KEF 104-4 filters and replacing the tweeters, it must be said, you have to wait a good month of running in before deciding!
The rendering is great, the sound image of the KEFs is fantastic, no acidity or aggressiveness, I finally found a pair of original tweeters, I'm going to compare and if the MDT 29-4 are better I wouldn't hesitate this time !
good listening
Christian

I needed a 4-ohm tweeter for a rebuild of some old Infinity CS3006's. At first I looked for direct replacements but wasn't too keen on the stock planar tweeter's harsh sound and over-emphasized sibilance. I was hoping to find something with a similar level of detail and clarity though. I had heard one other good build with a different Morel tweeter that I enjoyed listening to, so after some hmmmm-ing and hawwwww-ing (and a confirmation from a friendly tech here at Madisound that these would likely fit the bill), I pulled the trigger.

Boy let me tell you, I've never been happier with a tweeter. I don't really use these for A/V or surroundsound. I listen to music 5-6 hours a day while working from home, and it ranges from quiet piano to loud techno, depending on what type of work I'm doing (and how quickly my client needs blueprints), and this is the very first tweeter I've owned that can handle it all. The tones are crystal clear, the details are re-invigorating, bringing out little things that make it so much more life-like. For example, on one of my favorite jazz tracks, I can now hear when spit builds up on the saxaphonist's reed. This is a sound I recognize because I used to play sax myself, but never did I hear that on any speakers before. That really makes listening much more enjoyable for me. Also, the soundstage is outstanding, creating a nice listening space whether I'm at my seat at the computer, which is right in the sweet-spot, or assembling some stuff at my work-bench which is definitely off-axis.

But all these other things would be meaningless if I couldn't stand to listen for long periods (and why I've always avoided metal tweeters and not really liked planar or the one AMT I've heard), like I can with these tweets. They are not harsh at all. I've had them for a little over a month now and had some heavy workloads over the holidays, working 12+ hours a day, and never once did my ears feel fatigued, regardless of if I had the techno pumping or the metal screaming. Nor have I missed any details I thought I should hear in quiet moments of a symphony. I am one happy camper, and highly recommend this tweeter for music purposes.

This tweeter is a more-than-worthy successor to the T-33's in my old KEF 104/2 speaker systems. Same efficiency, same impedance, very similar overall response, but these Morel MDT29-4 tweeters are endowed with much better transient response. Details that I had never before noticed in my favorite recordings were immediately apparent. My 104's never sounded so fine, even when new ... Well, that was a very long time ago, so this may not be entirely true, but I have absolutely qualm with the way they sound now.

Incidentally, minimal modification to these tweeters was required to fit them into my 104's. After removing the aluminum front plate from each, all I had to do was take down the raised plastic lip and three fastener bosses behind it with a sanding drum attached to my Dremel. Five minutes for each tweeter, tops. No cabinet modification of any sort was necessary.
