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 !

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!
Excellent service from Willys-Hifi. Caroline was very helpful and patient when answering my queries. Please be aware that some soldering is required when connecting the tweeters. Something I haven't done since I was at school over 40 years ago! They do sound good though, listening to Smoke on the Water as I write , wow 😆
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.
