Used these drivers to replace old Vifa D26 on my Minuettos from the 90's (the worst sounding Sonus Faber ever!): these tweeters eventually managed to change the sound signature of the speakers as expected.

Used these drivers to replace old Vifa D26 on my Minuettos from the 90's (the worst sounding Sonus Faber ever!): these tweeters eventually managed to change the sound signature of the speakers as expected. I redesigned the xover (now 3rd order on the highs) and the SF now sound like they should, after 30 years (also swapped the original dark sounding Vifa treated paper cones for decent Vifa Polypropylene woofers!). Gone is the muddy boring original sound, finally these speakers SING! The metal dome tweeters have great dynamics and helped in obtaining detailed and crisp sound, yet refined and not harsh. RECOMMENDED!
A couple of practical notes: 1) the metal protection grilles arrived surprisingly bent due to poor packaging, but I am not returning the drivers as the aluminum domes are fine and the Minuettos have cloth protection grille on top of all so no visual aesthetics issues. 2) I removed the transparent plastic stickers on the metal protection grilles as I think they negatively impact on the sound (could be just an illusion..).
Conclusion: more than happy with these tweeters and satisfied for having transformed those boring Minuettos in a good sounding pair of modern speakers.
