One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened?

Drrdiamond, I tried the Ionovacs with various horns, dynamic drivers, ribbons, and even double Quads. In every instance, like in my opinion of the Acapellas, the tweeter always stood out as truly great and unlike the rest ot the speaker.

I once had the Jenzen tweeter arrangement with my Fulton Premiers. I think that, however, was a 16 panel arrangement. In this case, however, it was the tweeter, but I don't recall what the crossover point was.

No Dweller,

They don't use the Linaeum tweeter. The Linaeum is a dipole radiator, and the Gallo tweeter is cylindrical (330 degree dispersion) You couldn't put a Gallo CDT in a box, like you could with the Linaeums.

I've never heard a linaeum, but I do know the Gallo has the sweetest, most articulate highs I've ever heard in a speaker (coming from a former owner of Magnepan 3.6's)

Sean, I was surprised you didn't chime in about the Optimus speakers the Linaeums were used in. As you are well aware, people used to stuff the ports with some VERY interesting things!

Dear Readers,

I have a pair of floor standing real Linaeum speakers each with a 8” woofer and a 6” x 6" dipolar Linaeum tweeter, and a pair of book shelf Linaeum speakers with the same model Linaeum tweeters and a the same model 8” woofer that I’ve never even hooked up.  They could make great surround sound for the use as rear or side speakers or great speakers on their own.  If you have any interest in buying any of them, please let me know.

Best regards,
