One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened?

I own a pair of the amazing Optimus 5 (yeah, that's right, RADIO SHACK) speakers with the Lineaum tweeter.

I modified them according to an old article by Dick Olsher, and am still amazed by the clean, fast, transparent high frequency reproduction they accomplish.

Anyone know whatever happened to Lineaum? Seems like a killer "reference" speaker could have been made using this amazing tweeter...

BTW -- I currently own a pair of M.L. Prodigys, so I have a good reference point for high frequency reproduction ;>)

Hi Sean --

I can't remember which publication it was in. Olsher has written and reviewed in several different magazines over the years.

I will dig through my extensive audio magazine archives and try to locate.

Also, correction... The model is an Optimus PRO LX4. Dimunitive little speaker with real wood side panals, yellow Kevlar mid./woof with the Lineaum tweet.

Sean;

It is in an early (1996) issue of FI magazine, volume 1, issue 4, May.

I will scan the parts list/instructions & send to you.
