tweeter replacement Magico S5

Funny thing, I was expecting it would cost more.  How screwed up is that.   Thank you for the info

Thank you Erik for the info.. Anyone out there who can confirm that the Magico S5 tweeter is the Scanspeak Illuminator D3004/6640-00.  The fastner holes seem identical but the Scanspeak has a grill over the dome.  

So if Magico do anything to that tweeter to change it the don’t you end up with a pair of speakers with different tweeters? Not to mention something that is no longer a Magico S5 for resale purposes?

To me a markup from $450 to $800 on parts including whatever Magico do to the tweeter plus the install kit seems pretty reasonable, and the end result is still an S5 ... this may not be the best time to skimp on a few $100

Go with the Magico tweeter not something else don't listen to that dude.I own Magico i know.

Yeah, I’m not saying you should go with the off the shelf tweeter. However, if you think $800 is reasonable, you should probably have a pro do the work too.


If you think it’s outrageous in cost, you should look for alternatives.


My advice was for the sake of cost savings.


Best,
