Fountek NeoCd3.5H Horn Tweeter

I have these paired with (on top off) Fostex fe126en drivers loaded in BK-12 cabinets and using Jantzen Superior Z-caps, powered by a single ended tube amp.

These in my system just sound nice, everything a ribbon should be to me, fast, open, airy, natural, convincing, etc.

This serious ribbon tweeter (as auditioned, reviewed and measured by various famous people) is a good choice for one wanting to experiment the ribbon taste.
Its great performing response (ncluding the famous ribbon horizontal dispersion), low distortion, and ability to cross over a little lower than most ribbons at that price results in a great sound.

Looking to further upgrade my Klipsch LaScalas, i purchased a pair of these almost on a whim. I hacked into the tweeter output on my ALK custom crossovers and wired these up. They are sitting on top of the cabinet. I dont think there is any way to make them fit. Incidentally, they dont look to bad there, my scala's are black anyway. Adjusted my eq to account for the lower sensitivity of these compared to the other drivers in the speaker. Only required about a 3db bump from the crossover freq, 6k, and up.

Didnt have too long to fully tweak the eq, but WOW!! I was sorry I had to go out Sat night, I could have sat in front of them all evening. The difference in soundstaging was immediate and profound. Imaging and detail were SO MUCH nicer. The stock tweeter is really rough in comparison. These are light and very airy. Cant wait to spend more time with them,

If you have a lascala and can use a phillips scewdriver, I say 'what are you waiting for?' For the money, its a no brainer upgrade.

I imaging they will work well for any number of applications, of course YMMV.
