I have just acquired a pair of these from a friend. The tweeters are
blown, so I need replacements. As the company is no longer in
existence, can anyone kindly suggest an alternative source of
replacement tweeters?

My only knowledge of SD Acoustics is from what I remember reading in Hi-Fi
Answers magazine in the late 1980s. SD Acoustics had several models reviewed
in that magazine.

From memory, SD Acoustics used a SEAS tweeter in many of their models, first
a soft dome tweeter and then a metal dome variant. One of their models also
included a leaf isodynamic tweeter.

There's a 1988 interview with the founder of SD Acoustics at

Keith Howard, editor of Hi-Fi Answers at the time of SD Acoustics has his
own audio website. He may be able to supply the information you're after.

Yes, the midrange/treble is open; the bass is closed box. These units
sounded superb before their unfortunate "accident". I have always
lusted after SD Acoustics SD1s - the OBSes are the closest thing I'll
ever get to them, I think.

I have a set of Mk 2, SD1's sitting in my garage, that I keep thinking
I must sell. Superb speakers, just too big for the room I have now,
so suprplus to requirements.

Let me know if you're interested.
