Anyone build a speaker using the heil tweeter?


I have been wondering what the heil AMT would sound like on a cabinet containg a couple scanspeak, or kevlar drivers. Any speaker builders or DIYers ever try this? Also are there any better sounding 10" drivers to replace the original in the ESS tower? Other tweeks also helpful.

I mounted the Heils on B & W 804's without regard to the fact that the Heil's are supposed to support bottoms of about 1000 Htz and the 3 ways cross @ 4500. was about to modify the crossover when much to my chagrin the sound was great and superior to the original factory B&W's with my VTL stereo 150 amp and Conrad Johnson Premier preamp.

I believe that the configuration decreased the midrange tweeter cross. I am leaving it and believe that if B & W got off there high horse and teamed up their logs with Heils the result could be astounding. I don't know if I am foolish, but I love my sounnd. I think your rebuilding idea could surprise you. I believe the Heils to be an audio classic complete with a legion of devotees. Good luck.
