I have been designing and building my own Hi Fi loudspeakers for nearly 50 years - some of my attempts more successful than others! Experience has shown me that the humble L Pad is the perfect way to match the sound output of the respective drive units. My latest project is a large 2 x way design featuring an 8” Mid/Bass and a 1” dome Tweeter. As is often the case, the tweeter is over bright (and in this case, adding an unwanted shrill to the sound). Enter the L Pad... by connecting this device to the tweeter, l can attenuate (reduce) the actual volume to match that of the Mid/Bass driver. What a difference!
In my humble opinion an L Pad (irrespective of which type driver you may want to ‘tame’) is absolutely essential.
Thankyou for your review !

I've had my Mission 734s for about 30 years and for the last five or so the bass units have been falling to pieces. I was about to take the speakers to the tip, but didn't have the heart knowing how capable these used to be. I did a little internet research and these Monacor replacements appeared to do the job. Next day delivery from Willys was impressive, as was the killer sound once the replacements were fitted (which was a simple job). I'd forgotten how these speakers make the windows rattle. Very happy customer!
thx you so much for helping me geting the twiters for my speakers i hope all good for your bisnis in the futur and that it will never close i recemed you to the norwigen hifikluben its a store in norway for parts and hifi so you brobely will get order from ther now thx agine for the parts btw you need to put a bit of fome on the back side of the speakers for it to mount in the b&w cmd1 se to make them fit i will leave som pictur of the istalsjon
I always knew that Linn should never have stopped using Hiquphon tweeters. What I don't know is why it's taken me thirty years to fit a pair in my old Kabers. It's often hard to describe sonic character ....but to pinch Linn's old line from back in the day ...they're Simply Better.(even straight out the box with soldering iron still warm)
As my Kabers are passive,I had been a little concerned that the the 8 ohm nominal impedence of the OW1 would mess with the crossover slope. I needn't have worried....if its shifted the crossover point its much for the better.
Warm thanks also to Will and Caroline for a service in keeping with the outstanding quality of the Hiquphon product.

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.
