Habeth SHL5 tweeter and supertweeter models
I'm not sure if the super-tweeter is sourced from SEAS as they don't have a 20mm titanium dome listed in their webpage. All their Excel series are in 25mm whilst the Prestige series are in aluminium. The titanium is only available in 25mm sizes. SEAS PRESTIGE Tweeter http://www.seas.no/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=43&Itemid=48 SEAS EXCEL Tweeter http://www.seas.no/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=38&Itemid=44 In the SHL5 brochure(from Harbeth's webpage), the drive units are described as follows:- "HF: Custom 25mm ferrocooled aluminium dome ; Supertweeter: 20mm titanium dome neodymium magnet, waveguide face" "SEAS 25mm HF unit and 20mm titanium super tweeter" http://www.harbeth.co.uk/uk/uploadfolder/shl5bro1a.pdf Note that they did not mention SEAS 25mm HF unit and "SEAS" 20mm titanium super tweeter. Having said that, they do have inaccuracies in their description from time to time so best to take all that's written in their general papers with a grain of salt. |
Hi Ryder, Thanks for your input. I know that Harbeth sometimes refer to SEAS on the HUG. Some (or all?) of their tweeter and supertweeter are from that company. I'm wondering if they are special orders placed by Harbeth with their own specifications. We still have to investigate. Have a good day, Sébastien |
Why? Do you want to know whether the two drivers they stick in the Monitor 30 cabinet add up to $5800? I am a huge fan of Harbeth speakers, but their price increases are incredible. The M30 went from like $4K to $5.8 in just a couple of years. Yes, I know prices often rise and I know that goods that are not made in China cost more, as workers are paid more. But still. |
