Sorry Romy. Which loudspeaker are we talking about? Do you have a picture at all? As for the Cessaro mod, it didn't sound very different to me - certainly not worth the effort. I'd be interested to know where they crossover to the ET-703. The Alph...

There's no plasma tweeter on the Cessaro. The tweeter is the TAD ET-703. The HK owner has a gold-coloured horn for the tweeter, but there's no plasma driver. I'm pretty sure the horn on the Lansche plasma tweeter is a good bit larger than the horn on...

I find it pointless discussing the "sound" of a drive unit as it will be totally dependent on the implementation within the system. I will say the ET-703 is best seen as a supertweeter, and used to cover only the top half octave and the ultrasonic...

Hi Romy, thanks for the links. Did you try any other TAD's than the 4001? Like the 2002 1" device or the 4003? The ET-703? Did you utilise the 703 to cover the top octave and a half and suppress the resonance? It's certainly my experience that the...
