Many audiophiles praise the ribbon tweeter's excellent clarity, transparency, and imaging. The key to this remarkable performance is the almost weightless ribbon element: a Kapton film membrane etched with a pattern of aluminum conductors and placed precisely between two rows of neodymium magnets. The result is an immediate response to any transient impulse found in the original signal. The PT2's ability to deliver musical detail is clearly amazing. The tweeter's large membrane and radiating area provide higher power handling and a substantially lower cut off frequency. This membrane is thermally attached to a cast aluminum plate that facilitates cooling and dramatically increases dynamic range. The flared waveguide's wide horizontal dispersion projects an excellent off axis response. At the same time, vertical dispersion is limited, which reduces distracting floor and ceiling reflections. Perfect for line array applications. The recommended second order crossover cut-off frequency is 3 kHz or higher, although the crossover point can be lowered to 2,500 Hz if a 3rd order crossover is used. Specifications: *Power handling: 80 watts RMS/115 watts max *Impedance: 8 ohms *Re: 6.9 ohms *Ribbon radiating area: 120 mm x 27 mm *Frequency range: 2,000-26,000 Hz *SPL: 94 dB 1W/1m *Dimensions: A: 6-5/8" x 3-1/2", B: 2-5/8" x 6-3/16", C: 7/8".

Jim from Trenton NJ

I bought these when they first came out. I had to wait till the order came in. As soon as they arrived I hooked them up, and even without break in sounded very nice. I was a emit guy!! After they broke in they have a nice smooth sound, even @ close listening. I think this would be that I crossed @55oo with a zobel across the base
