I'll 2nd that, and I already have one pair with the stock OW2 Hiquphons. So many wants, so little money. :bawl:

Must resist...

Although a pair for the rear channels would sure compliment the three I have up front.   aa

Contacted owner...this might work out great because I contacted Jim a while back to get the process started but got hung up on what type of wood and finish to use and didn't follow thru. Btw - what, if any, are the sonic differences between the stock and upgraded Hiquphon OW4 tweeters?  Little bit of downside in that I was going to package the Song Center with the STs and pick up the discount...now that I think about it, Jim will be able to match the center with these pretty close won't he? Seems I've seen a number of the Ropey/Curly Cherry in the galleries.

Hi   There are no sonic differences between the 0W2 and 0W4 tweets.  What you see is literally what you get.  One is black, the other is platinum.

I am sure that the black one has a blacker background and the platinum one sounds metalic.   :lol:
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Cheers,

So it's not a $100 "upgrade," it just costs more to make it shiny then.

Well, I don't doubt that they might spend more time applying the coating on the 0W4, and there might be some performance measure that would show an advantage for it, but I haven't been able to find it.  It's mostly looks.

I have the upgraded tweeters in my SongTowers (Jim was out of the standard tweeters, and I didn't want to wait another three weeks..) and while they sound fantastic I doubt that they're that much better, if any, than standard.  I am thrilled with the speakers.  They are every bit as good as the reviews.  The fit and finish is far beyond what you expect to see at this price point; like the listing on A'gon says, pictures don't do them justice.
