Dayton B652 Air AMT Tweeter

I noticed Parts Express has the B652 Air, with a pleated ribbon diaphragm AMT tweeter.

Interestingly, you can buy the bookshelf speakers as a pair cheaper than a pair of the same tweeters alone. Same tweets better price, more stuff. I like stuff.

Looks like it might be a deal. I am thinking about popping.

The speakers look intriguing. Maybe the kind of thing Danny Richie can work magic on with just a few parts, cause the measurements look not so hot:

I have 4 of them in my shop powered by an Adcom 535 amp. They sound really good. A great BFTB speaker.

I'm always fooling around with cheap audio.  I've got a pair of these.  They aren't the last word in refinement or detail, but they are okay and non offensive sounding.

At that price point, the crossover must have really cheap components, and I would expect the cabinet to be pretty flimsy.

Bet some no rez and upgraded components would make a difference.
