Peerless version of: Scanspeak R2604/833000
This 25 mm dual ring radiator with centre phase plug has a low distortion response curve that extends effortlessly to above 40kHz. A double magnet system with tuned rear chamber yields an exceptionally low resonant frequency of just 589 Hz, which is a long way below the recommended crossover frequency - this tweeter is easy to use. The specially profiled 104mm diameter faceplate features recessed mounting holes for minimal reflection.

I was looking for something to pair with the Monacor SPH6M that I got from Willys HiFi as while back.
These tweeters are very very nice. Not the prettiest to look at (matter of opinion) but sonically superb. Very easy to work with crossover wise and because the the low FS you can get away with crossing these pretty low (1.2K) with a third order filter, this helps a lot with off axis response.
I ended up with probably one of the flattest responses I've seen for a while and a speaker that is very accurate (response / phase wise).
The top end these tweeters provide is clear, crisp and detailed without ever getting aggressive or fatiguing, although that could just be the way I 'voiced' them. Either way, I have to say I prefer these to the Scanspeak D2606 or the Vifa D26NC which have always been be my go to tweeters.
Pairing with the SPH6M you end up with what could be a pretty good studio monitor.
If anyone is looking to do a DIY build with a tweeter that is easy to work with, this could be it.
Note: It's great to have a UK supplier providing good quality parts rather than having to go 'across the pond' to source stuff.
Thank you Willy's Hi Fi.
Thanks for the fantastic review !

Very happy with this replacement part, especially once id fitted it correctly!! Sounds great so know where to go when the other one fails. 👍
Just as expected. Works perfectly as a subwoofer @400Hz in a mono bi-amped active internet radio set up in my study. Thanks!
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.
