D2010/852100
Categories: 0.75 - 2" (19-50mm) Dome Tweeters Scanspeak Tweeters
NEW PRODUCT - IN UK STOCK NOW.
The Scanspeak D2010/852100 is an updated version of the D2010/851100 using modern materials and manufacturing practices. Featuring a neodymium magnet assembly, multiple rear chambers, an anti diffraction foam front and a vented pole, this tweeter offers a smooth response and sounds very natural.
Please note: Although there are visual similarities, this is not a direct drop in D2010 replacement, some minor cabinet changes are required due to the position of the connection terminals as they are now on the back of the faceplate rather than the rear chamber cover (please see pictures 2 & 3).
Naim SL2 owners will need to drill the tweeter bracket in order to fit this item.

Many thanks for the super quick turn around on the tweeter I ordered. Bit shocked how fast it got here actually, so huge gratitude for that. Although it was a something of job modding the cabinet to get it to fit it was good to have the warning in the product description. Sounds marvelous.
Thanks for the review Jon !

My 35 years old original Tweeters were losing some sparkle/volume and I had just replaced the second woofer in my 2.5s - so Googled to find Tweeter options. Found Willy's Hifi and the best currently available Scanspeak alternatives. Will was very helpful and I now have new Tweeters installed. It wasn't my ears - these are tons better!!
Thanks for the review Steve !

Nice to source suitable replacement drivers. Offered at a very competitive price. Can’t wait to fit and fully test them.
Thanks for the review Julian!

Purchased as a replacement blown up by a family member incorrectly switching on the hifi system.
Easy to fit (once a bit of sculpting to the tweeter mounting brackets had been completed) and sounding pretty good so far, though possible they are still bedding in.
Wiley’s gave very helpful advice over the phone before an placed the order which was delivered by Royal Mail in 24 hours. Happy customer here, would recommend to others and have no hesitation buying from this company again.
Thanks for the review Chris !

Quick dispatch
As always, items arrived nicely packed and promptly.
I purchased these as substitutes for another driver that was used in a transmission line design. The old drivers had way too high a Q and sounded a bit boomy.
I chose these mainly because the diameter was exactly the same as the original drivers, meaning no cabinet reworking :)
They behaved very well in the transmission line cabinet and don't exhibit any peaks or nulls in the response. Very easy to work with and the 2nd order crossover couldn't be much simpler, crossed at around 2.4K which was mainly determined by the DT105 tweeter I was using, the drivers blend really well together.
Overall these are a very good sounding driver with a natural and neutral sound.
For those interested, I have included pictures of the speaker, crossover and measurements.
Tip: Run these drivers in before measuring and designing the crossover!
Good service well packed
I've needed something like this for years, fantastic product and a lovely company to deal with. Won't be my last purchase from them
It was a nice experience to send the old filters to the UK (from the Netherlands) and get them surprisingly fast back (taking the overseas shipment into account). At first I did it wrong since I also replaced the drivers that could also be connected in a 4/6 Ohm (double coil). But after correcting and calibrating my receiver the speakers sounded great.
Thanks!
Used in a DIY LS3/5a project, with Morel CAT 298 tweeters and custom crossovers using ClarityCap CSAs. Super pleased with these woofers! I think they synergize well with the “live” thin-wall LS3/5a cabinets. The sound is neither bloated, nor thin, just revealing, spacious, and with very lifelike tone. I’m so happy with the results of this project and had a great buying experience with Willy’s. Thank you!!
