DT-99
The Monacor DT-99 is a good value replacement for old 100mm tweeters such as the Audax HD100 series, Peerless DT-100 and LR-10-DT, as found in many 1970s/80s designs.
The DT 99 has an excellent radiation pattern with a smooth rising response curve and offers a level of performance that is is unparalleled at this price point.

Bought these tweeters for an upgrade project .. Wharfdale Denton XP2's .. what a transformation from the originals ..
Super service from Willy's .. delivered on time ! Good value tweeter this ..
Will play now a bit with crossover to make the speakers a little less bright ..
Thanks for the review James!

Be aware this may physically replace the DH100T ( 811815) and many other 100mm face plate tweeters but there the similarities stop. Electrically and acoustically they are worlds apart from the early Peerless offerings . The DT99 has a rising frequency from 3K up to 20K to a mind boggling 96 db . It is a 92db driver but at 3k so be warned if a direct swop for a DH100 is envisaged . A few tweaks to the cross over, mine at 3500hz ( at 12db/ octave ) , plus a gargantuan lpad of 5/ 10 ohm and measurement wise it all fell into place . Measurement wise its not too bad . Listening wise ,no smearing and captures trailing cymbols / highs nicely . The manufacturers FR is a bit choppy but baffled up it measures not to bad apart from the slight drop of 2db at 5k plus ish . This drop is not too wide and could you hear it ... I doubt it . Off axis ( which the manufacturer isnt keen on showing ) again is pretty good up to 45 degrees . it nose dives after that at 7 K plus . ) Perfect it aint . but at this money ..?.May be really well suited to a 2 way BBC smiley face FR monitor than 3 ways IMHO. Listening wise could you tell the difference , if unamended in the cross over definitely . Corrected ,,, the jury is out . Great value though and well put together . Thanks Will for pulling the stops out on this and continued top grade service .
Thankyou for your review !

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!
The foam grill covers of my Mission 770s crumbled into dust many years ago. Only recently was I able to find what I thought would be a suitable replacement. Everything about the process went smoothly. The foam cut easily, looks good and, to my ears , is audibly transparent.
well packed, fast delivery, simple procedure
Finally got my electricity back today after the storm on Friday. Initially I was a bit apprehensive, as I had no experience in electronics. As I followed the colour coded looms, it got easier and more straightforward. Guess what! My Mission 753s sound better than they ever did in 1998 when I bought them brand new. New crossovers also brought one of my tweeters back to life (was dead for ten years) What a quality upgrade, worth every single penny. Willy and Caroline, you guys are legends.
