Replaced faulty Studio 0.5 drivers with these. Had a wobble about the fit so called to confirm details and had superb advice. Recommend both the drivers and Willy's!
Thanks for the review Mark - The TDL Studio 0.5 is a great classic speaker !

This is a great driver for a transmission line or tapered pipe design. Good quality, if basic, chassis - nice and rigid with a chunky magnet. Nice smooth midrange making it easy to integrate with a range of HF units. I used the Fountek NeoX1.0 Ribbon Tweeter which is similarly an impressive unit. A good combination.
Thankyou for your review !

Speaker grill foam for Harbeths
I was concerned that they may not look like the original binding posts on my Rogers LS6 speakers but they are a perfect match. Quite solid. Shipping was quick and easy. I recommend the product and Willys Hifi.
Greetings from Quebec, Canada.
Product as described, easy to cut & fit.
On reflection having now fitted the foam, I wish it was 15mm to 18mm or even 20mm thick. This is not a complaint. For a small speaker under 30cm high it’s perfect. For a larger speaker I feel a thicker sponge would hold its structure more pleasingly, its aesthetics, but important for the finished look.
I’ve been building my own home cinema as a complete DIY project and reached the stage where I needed some decent acoustic foam for my speaker panels (also DIY!) so I picked up 3 large sheets from here. They were sent quickly, packed well and moreover, are of excellent quality. With them being folded into the shipping box they were slightly creased but after leaving them out overnight on a flat surface, the creases fell out completely. They’re now in place and doing their job brilliantly. Cheers Willys Hifi!
The crossover was constructed well, I just need to figure out the best way to attach it to my Kef Concertos as they are bigger than the ones supplied by Kef that are mounted on the front of the baffle board.
