Order and delivery was a very pleasant process, I loved the hand written 'thank you' for my order on the delivery/packing note from Will and Caroline😎
Ordered this tweeter as replacement for Monitor Audio Silver RS6 TRS-025. Only slight resizing of the cabinate hole required, the original fixing holes required no adjustment, fitment took aprox 10 minutes per box.
No crossover adjustment made, some say a 1ohm resister in series might be required...personal choice.
The sound, wow, compared to the Monitor Audio TRS-025 which by comparison sounded like music was eminating through a cardboard muffle, i now have open and clear top end. Tremendous improvement. Vocals are placed accuratly, general sound stage makes for a new exciting listening pleasure.
Crossover improvements will follow, upgrading to quality components, but as a first stage, this change is phenominal.
The Monitor Audio Silver RS6's are very happy being driven by my old Quad 34/306. Thanks Will and Caroline, i will be back.
Thankyou for your review Rob !

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.
Excellent service. Even a personal thank you hand written on the invoice.
A quick delivery and the tweeters are perfect on my mission 753 freedom speakers. Easy to fit . Highly recommend.
I’m no expert when it comes to speakers, but after some research (and a strong recommendation from ChatGPT), I went with the SB Acoustics SB65WBAC25-4 as a reference full-range speaker in this size range.
Having now tested them, I can confidently say they’re probably the best speakers I’ve ever owned. The clarity is outstanding—every detail comes through with incredible precision. The bass is surprisingly full and punchy for a speaker this size, and they handle power impressively well. For anyone looking for a high-performance compact full-range driver, these are hard to beat.
