This 20mm (3/4") soft dome tweeter offers a unique analytic capability and higher sensitivity than OW1-92. A very musical and true to life tweeter! With textbook impulse response / recovery, maximum detail resolution and pair matching to within 0.5 dB, this esoteric unit projects a sublime stereo image. Excellent for use in high-end 3-way loudspeaker systems; also a great choice for 2-way systems using wide band mid-bass drivers of appropriate quality. The OW2 was designed primarily for domestic loudspeakers but is also used to high acclaim in studio monitors because of its very low distortion, analytical response and very close pair matching.
Great frequency linearity between 3 – 20 kHz, rising gently upwards - works very well in 'dead' rooms containing lots of heavy furnishings / drapes. Extremely fast transient response and excellent phase linearity.This esoteric tweeter exhibits a well controlled and damped resonance / low frequency response and gives a wide useable bandwidth of 2 kHz to 22 kHz, nominal –3 dB. Unique heavy duty 2.5mm solder bucket connectors - Hiquphon connection guide
Supplied as matched pairs to within an incredible 0.5 dB 2 kHz—20 kHz (individual graphs included), each pair is thoroughly tested before being signed off by Oskar Wrønding, the founder of Hiquphon.

I bought the ow2's to replace the original 30+ year old 2008's which were still sounding good. Having already upgraded my pre and power amps with Avondale Audio's offerings and brand new passive crossovers I had little doubt that yet more improvements could be made by replacing such old tweeters and I was not disappointed. It is a have to re-listen to all your favourites again kind of upgrade. Every instrument sounds better but it's the tiny sounds that are more apparent, defined and more in there own space. Yes these tweeters are not cheap but I reckon they are the best available for the SBL's, thank you Willy's for making the purchase possible, easy and quickly. Andy.
Thanks for the review Andrew !

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.

Hi Will
Removing the old tweeters went very well your tip to use a hair dryer to warm up the glue help a great deal. Soldering the wires went without any problems and they sound great very pleased.
Thanks again for all the advice and tips to replace them myself.
Best regards

Bought to replace oe scanspeak tweeters that had cracked surrounds. These surrounds fell apart on removal. Damage to wood in photo wasn't me. Active SBL Mk2 driven by a pair of 250DR.
Naim cabling in speaker box is 4mm so I tinned the ends then filed down to fit the buckets. Cables soak away heat so I had to use a 100w soldering iron. Gasket fitting and **** back easy.
Sound is much more open and natural. As mentioned in another review the bass is inexplicably better defined.
Thanks for the review Diccy !

I have the last version of Aktiv Kabers and changed to these tweeters around a year or so ago. Simple to fit and a direct replacement. They suit the system very well and sound much cleaner than the original 3 bar tweeters. Very happy with the sound now fully run in.
Thanks for the review Dave !

Id had these speakers for a couple of years. I got the S/H and already the tweeters weren't working when purchased. Played them for and while but parked them up hoping one day to organise tweeters. Well that day finally came and i am blown away. Easily better than my Jamo 507A's and TDL RTL 3's. I drive them with an adcom 5300 and nad as pre amp. I am in New Zealand. The turn around time was within 2 weeks. Saving up for the crossover upgrade.
This made a massive difference to my 30 year old Linn Keilidh speakers, giving them a new lease of life.
Willy's is an awesome serivce. I needed a 4" midrange replacement that is a drop in exact fit for the IMF TLS50. If you are ordering from the USA, the Monacor MSH-115, 4" is your best option. I live in Pennsylvania and it only took 5 days from the time I ordered to be delivered from the UK. Royal Mail provides tracking. I dropped in cab and was fired up shortly on the same day. Sounds great. Totally worth buying these instead of rebuilding old speakers.
Willys saved my Mission 752 speakers. The tweeters were defective. The original tweeters are no longer available, and it would have been a shame to throw away these really good speakers. I came across Willys by chance in a chat room. Even there, the company and especially the tweeters were highly praised. I contacted Willys and received a very friendly response. Ordering the speakers went smoothly. However, shipping to and from the UK is a real adventure due to ****. It is expensive, cumbersome and no fun for either side. The tweeters arrived two weeks later and were of course installed immediately. The result is truly impressive. Airy, clear highs (previously a weakness of the 752, which tended to ‘hiss’) and a sound image that really thrills me. The ‘old’ Mission 752s seem to me as if they have been swimming in a fountain of youth. Thank you for the good service and the high-quality tweeters. ❣️❣️❣️

What a business, such a personal service , superb communication , and speed of delivery.
Bought a matched pair of Hiquphon OW1-92 Tweeters for my ancient Linn Kan’s Mk11.
WOW back to life , if not better , the main difference I hear , is more life, output, depth from the tweeter without taking away what I love about the Kans.
Will order a second set very soon for my other pair.
Thanks Will , and Happy Birthday.
Anthony
Loved the extra touch , gaskets, solder and screws.
