Didn't you have to chop out bits of wood to shoehorn them in ? Chainsaw time :lol:

Thing is they are so expensive compared to dome's. In my tweeter breeding project (thanks Alfi) it would cost me a bloody fortune. Thanks for your input Simon.

Had a pair of Deccas with ribbon horn tweeters for a time. Beautiful breathy vocals.

Had a visit to a friend at the weekend, with Nick and a couple of others to listen to a pair of OB’s that use Aurum Cantus ribbons. Lovely treble, there’s something special about a good ribbon imo.
