Morel CAT 378 Tweeter
Categories: 0.75 - 2" (19-50mm) Dome Tweeters Morel Tweeters
The Morel CAT 378 is the modern updated replacement for the legendary MDT-37. This high efficiency horn loaded tweeter features a field replaceable hand coated 28mm Acuflex textile dome, a large ferrofluid cooled Hexatech aluminium voice coil, a vented ferrite magnet system and a tuned / damped rear chamber. This tweeter is ideal for low powered valve amps and has a detailed, unfatiguing sound with a gently downward sloping response - excellent for taming 'live' rooms with hard surfaces. Recommended frequency use: 2000-20,000 Hz. High power rating of 200w nominal, 1000w peak.

CAT378
Not a review of the drive units received as such, because the project is still awaiting other parts from elsewhere, but the tweeters arrived rapidly and in good condition, as usual from Willys.
However, FWIW, based on previous experience with Morel tweeters, and having heard the design I'll be including these in, I would also recommend Morel tweeters. Not necessarily the very highest resolution, but still good clarity, and very easy on the ears. Good power handling too, and easy to replace the diaphrams if the worst happens.
Thanks for the review John !

Excellent upgrade, works perfectly with the speakers it's just soldier and play, they takeaway the over intensity of the original tweeters.
I've had my Mission 734s for about 30 years and for the last five or so the bass units have been falling to pieces. I was about to take the speakers to the tip, but didn't have the heart knowing how capable these used to be. I did a little internet research and these Monacor replacements appeared to do the job. Next day delivery from Willys was impressive, as was the killer sound once the replacements were fitted (which was a simple job). I'd forgotten how these speakers make the windows rattle. Very happy customer!
Excellent service from Willys-Hifi. Caroline was very helpful and patient when answering my queries. Please be aware that some soldering is required when connecting the tweeters. Something I haven't done since I was at school over 40 years ago! They do sound good though, listening to Smoke on the Water as I write , wow 😆
thx you so much for helping me geting the twiters for my speakers i hope all good for your bisnis in the futur and that it will never close i recemed you to the norwigen hifikluben its a store in norway for parts and hifi so you brobely will get order from ther now thx agine for the parts btw you need to put a bit of fome on the back side of the speakers for it to mount in the b&w cmd1 se to make them fit i will leave som pictur of the istalsjon
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.
