    I'll take some pictures of the phase bridge tomorrow.

    Huh, my little brother turned 40 on 9-23-2017

    That is a lot of copper - does it extend all the way down the pole piece? 
    I have a signature.

    Geoff, do you have an on-axis fr as well as an impedance graph for the new rs28a overlaid the old rs28a as a comparison by chance?

    Unfortunately, I do not. I might be able to do that at some point, but I'm a bit busy for the next week or so.

    Looking good not a bad replacement thats for sure. Even more so if they hit the $30 price tag Geoff mentioned.

    I was able to snag this today.

    Thanks for the overlay Gowa. I’m liking the A model

    What a real phase plug? That means with no plastic sticker we can lose the grill.  I assume that's the AL dome tweeter. 

    I have found a number of pre production samples at the tent sale.  Can we just skip the tent sale and you sell them to me?

    We actually have the phase bridge on both models.

    We always keep what we call "The Golden Sample", but we do put pre-production samples in the sale many times.

    Looks like PE is kicking off the replacement products release. At least on PETT. If you get what you pay for...these are a nice chunk of change below the originals when they departed.

    Supposedly Jeff B. heard them and decided not to use them in the Continuum remake?  Any truth to that?  If the F model has real 93 dB sensitivity, it's worth trying.

    I ordered a pair yesterday to go with the new fabric dome RS mid and a DSA 8" woofer. 

    Jeff doesn't have the only ears on the planet, just sayin'

    Not true at all. He looked at the specs, response, etc and simply chose a Morel instead.

    Grabbed a pair of the Fs myself. Yep, another WG lol

    Chuck, thanks.  It's good to get the real story.  I guess we should be ready for the never ending debate between old and new. 

    I'm not interested in remaking everything with the new tweeters, so I'll wait for some inspiration before buying.  It's that shelf queen thing.  I've got some Piezo tweeters that need some help for a couple of PA builds.

    Any updates on the Dayton Audio RST28F-4? Anyone using it?
  • isaeagle4031isaeagle4031
    Just ran an impedance sweep on mine. Match each other and specs well. Hopefully some testing within the next week or so. My shop is down for major repairs/upgrades, so I am working out of my friends place for now.
  • isaeagle4031isaeagle4031
    Furnace, A.C., water heater being replaced. So all of my spare/project cabinets are occupying the test area. Garage is packed with way too many recently purchased power tools (I have 3 table saws now) and shelving units from a local store. I have to rewire and run new power to the garage as well. 

    So a few projects that I need to complete for customers are moving to my friends place. Add to all this a lot of weekend family commitments...

    I'm interested in this tweeter for MTM duty. I'm very interested in the distortion.
