I paired two HT 130G8 units with Monacor DT 105 tweeters in cabinets which are seriously too small, and with four element crossovers at atound 2.5kHz the result is very crisp and detailed - ideal for chamber music. I think the Audax units are excellent value for money.
Thankyou for your review !

Excellent driver and superb service and advice from Willy's hi-fi. Would certainly recommend and I will definitely be using again. Super fast delivery and great prices
They offer great advice genuinely helpful and knowledgeable.
Excellent service.
Very happy with this replacement part, especially once id fitted it correctly!! Sounds great so know where to go when the other one fails. 👍
Just as expected. Works perfectly as a subwoofer @400Hz in a mono bi-amped active internet radio set up in my study. Thanks!
Bought a pair of these to replace the failing drivers in my 20 year old Alesis M1 Active Mk2s. They are physically a near perfect match for the cabinets and are a good match electrically for the amplifier, but sound better than the original drivers. The only slight complication is the original drivers use one 2.8mm and one 4.8mm spade terminal, so you need to change one of the connectors. These have given my old monitors (now my 'kitchen speakers') a whole new lease of life. Next step is to replace the rubber surrounds with a grille.
There is a detailed review of these drivers over on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCb-rzCSK2s
Great service from Willys. They were dispatched straight away and arrived next day, very well packed.
I recently installed the Linn Keilidh active Tweeter Upgrade Kits from Willys Hifi. It works great! It took
1 month to get here snd had to pay an additional 90 euros in taxes and customs fees but it was well worth it!
