Peerless Tweeters

Kevin...

I believe you are using a Peerless tweeter with your new Exodus line of loudspeakers. What is the difference between the one you are using and the Peerless India tweeter?

Thanks,

Krister

They are two different companies.   Peerless of India makes very inexpensive drivers in huge volumes.   They specialize in high volume clients and their prices are LOW.    That isn't necessarily bad, but they certainly maintain a focus on affordable rather than having a focus on high-end products.    That doesn't mean they cannot build a good driver, just that they are more akin to a Kia rather than a Lexus.

The Peerless HDS is a Tymphany product.

Eventually, I'd like to develop our own tweeter and not be beholden to any of these companies but it has to be an improvement on the Peerless which isn't an easy task.

Thanks Kevin. I didn't realize they are two independent companies.
