Peerless by Tymphany
Thanks to Will for advising on a replacement for these classic Arcam speakers from the early 90s. Good value and quick shipping. This was a small restoration project on this sealed box design - these now sound punchy, crisp and clear and really fill the room. Tweeters seem to still be breaking in as the detail and imaging just keeps getting better! Looking forward to coming back for parts for the next project!
Thanks for the review !

Great priced tweeters for some old 3 way speakers that I was restoring. These speakers are very bright and crisp at the top end as what you would expect from Peerless as they have been making decent drive units for over 50 years of my own experience.
Thanks for the review Dave!

I’d just like to say a big thanks to Will for his helpful advice.
He advised and supplied the parts I needed to replace the tweeters and upgrade the crossovers in my Mission 752 Freedom’s.
I’m absolutely delighted with the results and can’t recommend Willy’s Hi-Fi enough.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the review Paul!

These tweeters were intended for a replacement to some old Peerless Dt100 range . The face plate diameter difference would have caused some issues here though . In the end after some REW testing the units ended up partnering a pair of excellent M16NH in a Tannoy V4 rebuild . Baffle diffraction issues on the original build suggested better alignment on the narrower baffle and in they went . Cross over was a simple 2nd order at 2.2 K and voila a very nice sounding box . Measuring the tweeter tends to beam a little at 6 to 7 K and rolls off at 12 K plus but impedance measures ruler flat 6 ohm rising slightly at CO and past 10K . Give them some nice components in the signal line and the stage and imaging is spot on . Absolutely no difference in measurements in the pair gets a thumbs up for QC. No stings , no smearing , sound is spot on for the money and waterfall looks really good too. Recommended for slight off axis placement and if you can drop the tweeter back a tiny bit to align. Another great value for money offering .
Thankyou for your review !

Ordered two of these tweeters on Friday afternoon NZ time, amazingly they had arrived in Auckland the following Tuesday morning, arrived in my home town of Christchurch couple of days later and were promptly installed. Seem to be doing and sound as they should, thank you for your service!
Excellent service well packed and very happy with tweeter after the work had been done.
Definitely would use again
Excellent advice once again from Will so helpful. Bought and installed I was a bit apprehensive about soldering direct to the terminals including the speaker terminals but took my time and with the guidance of will these have transformed my speaker's to a completely different level. Detail clarity is outstanding brings out subtle Nuance's. I'm so glad I replaced my existing crossovers with these they are better than I could have imagined and are excellent value.
Thanks again for outstanding service.

I am a big fan of the linn range of speakers , particularly the Keilidh and Kaber models . They are well designed and extremely well constructed. Anyone thinking of taking the step on this tweeter upgrade I would say do not hesitate.! I have a passive pair of Kaber with the 3bar Linn mk2 tweeters and these are generally accepted as a decent improvement over the early ceramic versions. These OW02 Hiqufon went into my active pair of Kaber and they are in a different league in my opinion!! I am a returning customer to Willys Hifi and always get great service, items arrive on time and well packaged. Thanks for being the go-to website when it comes to thinking about my next project or upgrade! Regards Ianpop.
