DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
Audax were true innovators and released many cutting edge technologies never seen before such as the HDA (High Definition Aerogel) cone - a unique product based on acrylic polymer gel containing carbon and kevlar fibres in perfect molecular alignment. HDA was the product of extensive research for the perfect cone material that is both lightweight, rigid and displays high internal damping. Another breakthrough technology was the brilliant but sadly short lived 'gold eye' HD-3P: the Audax HD-3P tweeter was a piece of exotic, visionary engineering from the 1990s. Fundamentally a piezo tweeter, it featured a gold spattered elliptical diaphragm formed onto a nitrogen filled balloon. Technically and sonically brilliant but fatally flawed due to gas loss and barometric pressure changes; many are now defunct with low / no output or exhibit the 'crinkle of doom'. We supply a replacement kit for the HD-3P here: Audax HD-3P replacement kit.
These are selling fast - when they're gone, they're gone.

Been looking for a supplier of replacement drivers for some years.
Willy's HiFi had just the parts at a good price and they arrived in a couple of days.
Excellent service. Even a personal thank you hand written on the invoice.
A quick delivery and the tweeters are perfect on my mission 753 freedom speakers. Easy to fit . Highly recommend.
I’m no expert when it comes to speakers, but after some research (and a strong recommendation from ChatGPT), I went with the SB Acoustics SB65WBAC25-4 as a reference full-range speaker in this size range.
Having now tested them, I can confidently say they’re probably the best speakers I’ve ever owned. The clarity is outstanding—every detail comes through with incredible precision. The bass is surprisingly full and punchy for a speaker this size, and they handle power impressively well. For anyone looking for a high-performance compact full-range driver, these are hard to beat.
Item as described and arrived quickly - and did the job. However, I suggested that anyone replacing speaker foam makes sure they have a very large pair of sharp dressmaking scissors as it was not easy cutting to size without producing a ragged edge (which I managed to hide short of a close inspection)!
