Pyramid/Sequerra T-1 Tweeter


I recently bought what was advertised as a "Sequerra T1 MK IV" tweeter. What I got is a Pyramid Loudspeaker Corporation T-1" ribbon tweeter. Can anyone tell me anything about this tweet? I know that Sequerra designed for Pyramid at one time. Do I have a Sequerra T-1 MK 1 ( the tweet says "patent pending' so I assume it's pretty old)? Or did Sequerra start his own line of T-1 tweeters? Any info on age or history would be appreciated. Regards, David

Sequerra made a speaker called the Metronome which was pyramid shaped to eliminate parallel sides. Thus, the pyramid name. He then marketed a speaker called the Metronome pyramid which in its base design had, even for that time a inexpensive minimonitor that was primarily a midrange monitor but worked quite well as a stand alone bookshelf speaker called the Met 7. To this could be added a woofer unit that it could sit on and what was considered one of the sweetest tweeters on the market, a Sequerra ribbon tweeter. I believe it came out in the early 80's. Todays Sequerra speaker is a evolution of this original design now, of course, much more expensive and more refined. This tweeter may be what you bought.
Did you get just one tweeter? I suppose you could enhance the center channel in a theater setup, but I don't know what else you could do with it. The T-1 is a classic, rarely found on the used market. If it says Pyramid Loudspeaker Corp., however, it may not be a Mk IV, which is the current T-1 model, manufactured under the Sequerra name, not Pyramid. You can log onto his site and email him about it if you want to find out for sure.
Thanks for all the responses. Let's sort of answer things in order. The Nova Audio Renditions are fine speakers. In fact, they're spectacular speakers. You can listen to them if you live in the Washington DC area but I'm not quite ready to start a loan program. My HT system is pretty much finished so now I'm playing with toys. I bought the Sequerras (and I did get a pair) to compare with my Scanspeak tweeters. They're clearly not the MK IV. There's no date on the speakers or literature, but the speakers say "Patent Pending" so they're the first model of whatever they are. They are about 5 inches high, 4 to five inches wide and about 8 inches deep. They do look like a truncated pyramid. They have honking large magnets. If I put them within 6 inches of each other they immediately slide together. I sent an email to www.sequerra.com asking for more information but that was on Friday night and I'm sure they won't answer before Tuesday. Well, got to go. I bought some new CDs today and it's time to crank up the volume.
D, I'm not in your area, but if I ever get into the D.C. area, I any just look you up. I'd love to hear Renditions in just about any system context. All the best for the new year!!!...Carl
