Hales Trancendence 8 or 5 speakers

Hi Doug:

I own a pair of T8's. Frank did an excellent job decribing the virtues of this speaker. The speaker is uniformly good throughout the frequency range but the one area where it really excels is dynamics. I previously owned a pair of Nestorovics (which I still love dearly) but the T8's are better in this area.

My personal experience is 180 degrees from Junkyards. I find the speaker to be very forgiving, but then the electronics I'm using is rather antiquated (old CJ preamp and threshold amp). Hey Frank, where are you getting you r replacement drivers? Fess up!

I've enjoyed the Hales 5 for many years now and recently one of the tweeters bit the dust. Can someone please recommend some sources for replacement drivers other than Madisound as listed above. (Out of stock)

Thanks in advance!

From what i remember the Hales Trancendence 5 and 8 used a Vifa metal dome tweeter.

T8: Vifa made the tweeter, have not checked on availability as I have spares; Seas made the midrange and will hand build replacements for around $250.00, and Alumapro made the bass driver and supposedly can do so for around $220.

T5: Vifa and Seas again, and I have heard that bass driver was by Dynaudio.

Thanks to Lee for providing the above to me.
