Wolfbane Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Anyone have or heard these in their Klipsch Heritage speakers? For specs on these see: http://www.usspeaker.com/beyma%20tpl150h-1.htm Kind of pricey for tweeters but a friend of mine is the new XXXXX distributor of Beyma including Beyma Tweeters.

I'm not selling anything here, or advocating the sale of anything. To you or anyone else. Link above revised to a US webpage with tweeter specs. I'm not affiliated with anyone/organization selling anything audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spezjag Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) The Beyma CP 25 tweeter is what Greg Roberts uses in his K'horn/Belle/La Scala upgrades. With the K'horn and Belle, he incorporates the tweeter box into the squawked horn assembly: http://www.klipschupgrades.com/bellevtrac.shtml With the La Scala, he builds a separate tweeter box to sit on top of the speaker box: http://www.klipschupgrades.com/lascalaupgrades2.shtml Yes, they're not cheap, but neither are the BMS midrange drivers he uses. I believe these are the same he uses in his high-end Volti speakers to great effect. In this case, you may actually get what you pay for.

I believe the TPL-150 and 200's are horn loaded air motion transformers. They are pleated ribbon diaphragms like Oscar Heil designs.

Chris A Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I'd pay a little attention to the sensitivity of these "trough horn" type polymer diaphragm tweeters (102 dB/1 watt/1 m) --that's low compared to the others. You'll have to do a little crossover tweaking in your stock crossovers (or upgrades) to accommodate it by removing impedance or resistance elements--which is probably a complete redesign of your (likely) passive HF crossover network. Also, if you noticed all the graphs, this is a collapsing polar tweeter due in all probability to its line source-type design. That's not a characteristic that I'd prefer in a tweeter--having gotten used to the sound of a K-402 over these many years.

Sounds like 'Heil Oscar!' - a ridiculous an annual celebration at Oscar's favorite Beer Hall and some goose-stepping is called for here!! (Sorry, couldn't resist). This guy made me write this > That, and the thought of spending $900 on tweeters! Edited October 12, 2015 by Wolfbane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max2 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 The CP 25's at $110-$120 a piece, may be the best bang for the buck out there. They need to be attenuated a bit, -3 to -5, but they bring a lot to the table. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I build and sell wood lenses I cant comment too much, but I prefer to listen to mylar diaphragms. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) The CP25 needs to be EQed carefully - it has a hill and valley in the FR curve in the 4-12 kHz region. Once you do that, it's a good tweeter, IMHO, especially in terms of polar coverage and value for money.
