I thought it would be fun to snag some at MWAF. Maybe a line array center channel. Always wanted to do a bessel array. Like everything else there's no time to order and measure.
Yea that's a nice tweeter for $30... I think those 8in B&C's are the same woofer Pete used in the Derecho for Vapor Audio. Of course the Delta 12a were in Bagby's Tempest.
On another note: my wife tossed to PE catalogue before I got to look at it. Was there a discount code on there?
I was going to order a pair of RS270's or RS270P's. Hoping I can cross them to MDM55 at around 1k.
Very limited quantities on most of the stuff I looked at. Not going to last long. I'm thinking the tw030 would be a natural match with the 7" Rivals. And you know I was kidding, right?

I saw no codes, just a plug for the $49 free shipping. Sorry.

I'm finalizing a 3 way now, using a RS270 crossed to a MDM55. Fc is about 800 2nd order electrical. The MDM55 is pretty happy, but will complain a bit if I push it too hard. Still, very nice detail and quality sound.
But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!
The Wavecors seem to be going the way of the Dodo... the TW022WA05 is now NLA. There is a another TW022WA02 which is on sale for 30$. But given what happened to the TW030 that JR got and the TW022WA05 which I got, nice tweeters but they keep going extinct....
Esoteric ES180TiA the DOD, I liked what I heard in Dan Primosa, but it was the previous version and a couple of years back. Thinking of spending some cash that I don't have. Anyone with any more in-depth opinion or experience with these? Do these need a lot of convulated XO massaging for a 2k XO or smooth enough? Three way bottom like Rick Craig's design would be great, but 2k XO suitability?
Regarding Motus, I wrote to Ryan Audio: Trevor from Ryan sold them in 2015 to focus on Ryan Speakers. He suggested I contact: erich@denovoaudio.com since Erich was the owner of Motus when Trevor last spoke to him in late 2017. I never contacted Erich (same one from DIYSG?).
Interesting, when I bought my Motus tweeters, Eric H (@DIYSG) wanted me to send them to him for testing, but because I'm in a different country I didn't want to deal with the shipping and risk any damage to irreplaceable tweeters. I pointed him to the testing in Voice Coil instead.
That was also in late 2017, you'd think if he owned the company he might have a pair of Motus tweeters kicking around, or at least mentioned that he had something to do with the company.
What hasn't been said is that Karl, then from PE, purchased/owned them and had Erich pick them up. Erich came into possession and ownership after that point. Last I knew, Erich still had them- pallets full.
That looks exactly like the old Goldwood GT-525 that Zaph rated as hot garbage. Also looks like the one they took a photo of has a cracked faceplate by the top left screw.
Goldwood GT-525 ($10) - This is a horrible tweeter on all counts,
just stay away. It has a ragged low end response and piercing harmonic
distortion. Low build quality tops it off. Tested April 2008.

Bought a pair of the 4" you have linked or the 2" gento paper cone?

Motus or Wavecor? Maybe that would explain why the Wavecor drivers keep going extinct.
