Chatting with the seller, he bought them that way from some guy who "did odd things." 🤣

    Interesting thing is they say Amina on the front. Benny Amina is a local HiFi repair guy who also makes customer tube amps and preamps. I wonder if he got a set and decided to "improve them?" Can't see how unless that is some super high end beryllium tweeter on top.

    Looks like a Dayton Audio cap on the XO as well, not that, that is necessarily a bad thing, but it's not original afaik.

    IIRC from my old pair, the tweeter was the shining feature of that speaker...

    Doing that, well, seems completely asinine.

    Can't imagine needing a super tweeter on a modern pair of speakers

    I didn't even know they still had those these days until I got an Upscale Audio email a couple weeks ago promoting some Fyne Audio super tweeters. Last I had heard about them was back in the Radio Shack days ...

    Those RS super tweeters bring about $100 a pair now a days.
