DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
D2905/970000
Categories: 0.75 - 2" (19-50mm) Dome Tweeters Scanspeak Tweeters
The Scanspeak D2905/970000 has a high power handling of 225W and a frequency response to above 30KHz. Features include a hand coated 25mm soft textile dome, an airflow optimised copper capped pole piece and a tuned rear chamber with an integral resonance damping plug.
This tweeter also benefits from the Scanspeak SD2 'Symmetrical Drive' system incorporating a copper capped and sleeved centre pole piece; this effectively forms a very low impedance shorted turn (called a Faraday ring) within the magnet circuit, the net result being that the voice coil impedance remains largely constant across it's operating frequency range resulting in a more linear output with greater top end extension.
This is a highly advanced design with a sweet, detailed sound. Found in many high-end designs and is a top choice for DIY high performance loudspeakers.

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!!
I used this in custom LS3/5a speaker enclosures along with Monacor SPH-135AD woofers and custom crossovers using ClarityCap CSAs. The tweeters have a very pure sound, revealing microdetails and having a naturally smooth, response. The sound is never peaky or rough. I’m very happy with my purchase and with the service from Willys. Would buy from again for a future project!
I bought a pair of Acoustic Research AR28LS speakers back in 1985 for £129 ! After about 15 years the foam suspension had started to perish and completely failed in 2006 following a rather loud teenage party. I was never happy with the Eminence Beta-8A replacements bought from a local shop at the time, as the bass resonance was far too high. Finally decided to replace them with Monacor SPH-8M and the speakers now sound as good as new. Arrived quickly and no problems fitting. Many thanks.
Absolutely first class service again brilliant advice as i always get from Will. Bought some Morel CAT 328-110 Tweeters and they sound sublime and the detail is incredible. Not harsh at all and very airy performs well beyond its price point im so glad Will advised me on this as the perfomance is fantastic. In fact Will has saved me thousands as replacing drivers has saved me investing in new speakers first class service once again.
Very happy customer thansk again.
Up and running again exactly what I needed. Great job Willys. 10/10👊🏻🫵🏻. From start to finish will be use again in near future for crossover upgrade. 1st time using. 100% will use again
