UK STOCK ITEM
The Peerless D27TG-35-06 is a high Performance 1" Tweeter featuring a tuned and damped double rear chamber, giving a low resonant frequency of 911 Hz. The voice coil / gap is filled with low damping ferrofluid for cooling / thermal stability without affecting the transient response; the voice coil is terminated with tinsel braided leads.
Used in PMC models: FB1, TB1, TB1S, TB2, TB2S, DB1, DB1S. Also fits some early ATC models.
An excellent upgrade tweeter for the Mission 753 Freedom and Vifa D25TG models.
The Scandinavian built model can be found here: Scanspeak D2606/922000

Peerless by Tymphany
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 !

Up and running again exactly what I needed. Great job Willys. 10/10👊🏻🫵🏻. From start to finish will be use again in near future for crossover upgrade. 1st time using. 100% will use again
Since 1991, I've had Linn Keilidh speakers, which I upgraded a year later to an active system using the Linn Wakonda and two LK100 power amplifiers. Over the past few years, I’ve considered replacing my audio setup with a more compact active system. However, the downside is that it would require a significant investment to achieve a comparable sound quality.
In the end, I opted for an upgrade of the tweeters and new speaker covers after more than 30 years.
The upgrade itself went smoothly using the supplied solder. I’m very pleased with the end result. The upgrade has had a noticeable impact on the soundstage: the bass, midrange and treble all have more space and clarity within the stereo image. This first became apparent to me when listening to vocals—it’s as if you can perceive the space surrounding the voice. And the longer you listen, the more this spatial detail stands out.
I’ve turned the amplifier up slightly, as creating that sense of space seems to require a bit more power.
It’s an upgrade I can definitely recommend.
Wow, just had my Mission 753 upgrades of crossover and also tweeters. What a difference it’s made! The high frequencies are more refined and OMG, the separation and richness of mud and bass if awesome…..much thanks to Willy’s for giving my 753’s a new life 😀😀
Excellent advice from will as usual and exactly what I wanted. These have improved the sound of my current speakers and taken them to another level. Sounds superb I can hear tonal difference's between things that I never heard before. Superb bass drivers dig so deep.
As usual will has been outstanding.
Brilliant to deal with always helpful and gives great service.
What a brilliant capacitor, from first listen exceptional clarity and depth. Bargain will be buying more.
