Hi all, This thread has been a facinating read for me, and has prompted me to resurrect my old Celestion SL600 speakers. But their copper dome tweeters are looking (and sounding) rather worse for wear. Does anyone know where I could source them from? Any help you could provide would be really appreciated. Mani.
I do not know where to get the original copper dome tweeters. The later production of SL600 and SL700 used a white tweeters (I presume they were aluminum) and they were not as interesting sonically as the soft-sounding copper tweeters. I was getting the copper dome tweeters from buying the SL6- the cheaper wooden version of SL600. If they are in fair condition then you can get then for around $300, that makes $150 – expensive but worth it. It worth is then were useable tweet but in my case they tune to “Autumn sound” very fast. So, I got sick from it and moved on. Still, I feel the “new” SL600 copper dome tweeters are fantastic tweeters – very non-abusive and very laconic. They need a LOT of very good power, preferably in class A to sound the best and then will not last long with a lot of power. Well, it proves that God does not exist in audio.
