ClaudeJ1 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 All you need to finish it is DaveA sMAHL/De-120 Super tweeter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedLimit Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 If only I could find these horns in France ( i mean the DaveA sMAHL horns .. i have already the DE120-8) on my La Scala clones i have put these ones (with B&C DE10 drivers).. but i find them too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzpassions Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) I bought an Eminence Apt tweeter, near the standard specs. Only the horn is different. Edited April 20, 2021 by Jazzpassions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I have used these on top of my LS for years, mounted in a separate baffle to align the mid compression driver with the tweeter driver. https://www.eminence.com/speakers/supertweeter-detail/?model=APT150 Shown here on my previous pair of LS: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzpassions Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Unfortunately apt150 is out of stock. I'm looking for it! The only alternative available is apt80 with circular horn. 🙄🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacek Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Not sure where you are buying it but current APT driver is not the same as originally used in Klipsch mods. In the meantime (few years ago) Eminence changed to some Chinese supplier and this is actually different driver even though it looks similar. Somewhere here there is Bob Crites thread with measurements of this new one, and it looks inferior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzpassions Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Yes i read, unfortunately buying in usa is very expensive. And in europe this is the available tweeter. I'll try this, but in future i can upgrade all the system with multicellar horn for example 😁😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedLimit Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 when you buy something from Europe, is it also expensive like for me buying in the USA ? for me, the price is x 4 the initial price when i want to buy something in the USA, for example 2 k-401 horns or 2 Dave A SmallH horns for B&C de120 drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping is pretty bad to some places and approaches $85 but unless there is a huge import fee I don't see how it gets a price tag like that. Oddly enough the worst country I have had to deal with has been Canada. Expensive, slow and they damage things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedLimit Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 yes too many fees ... and shipping cost for example when i buy something that has an initial price from 100$, i add the shipping costs (for example 50$), the international fees (i don't know how much - it depends on the items bought) and then, on my island they take percent of the total price item + shipping cost. for hifi, something like 25% of 150$ (100+50) + 8,5 % for the county (departement in my language) + 2% for the custom services ...

Jazzpassions Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Fortunately I found midrange in italy. Woofer in deutschland And tweeter in france. For me buying a used tweeter in alnico (or woofer) it'a a bad idea: alnico magnet demagnetized after some years.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzpassions Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 The speaker is amazing: sound good with all: classical, rock, jazz, pop. There is a huge dynamics, and i can "hear more". The old DTQWT speakers, very very good to tell the truth, immediately ended up in a corner. I agree with those who said the lascala is a definitive speaker: they get along well with all genres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
