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 !

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.
