Wondering if you could help me identify the three differently marked Peerless tweeters I have.

1: 55144882
2: 55142181
3: No writing

Denmark? US? Midwest Clone?

Thanks!

    The first two are probably US made 8/82 and 1/81 Are the magnet housings perfectly round and silver?? I could see the one from 8/82 being gold I could tell you from a picture of the back. I did a whole thing on the many different pweerless tweeters somewhere on here.

    8/82 is perfectly round and gold
    8/81 is perfectly round and silver
    unmarked is silver but not perfectly round, has two flat spots opposite each other

    The tweeters in my RTA12's: one is the gold 82 and the other is the unmarked not perfectly round one so for whatever reason a previous owner swapped one of them with a replacement. Do these aforementioned different versions have different sonic characteristics or is it negligible?
