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 / D26TG models.

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 !

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.

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.
Item as described and arrived quickly - and did the job. However, I suggested that anyone replacing speaker foam makes sure they have a very large pair of sharp dressmaking scissors as it was not easy cutting to size without producing a ragged edge (which I managed to hide short of a close inspection)!
