Otherwise, I've been using Dayton Audio PT-2 at about 30 quid. Sounds
very nice to my ears.

There's a note from the seller at the bottom saying the auction is
cancelled. Seems he forgot to tell Ebay. Or perhaps his nurse did.

They may be good, but they're not cheap..$99,999 starting bid :-)

I think this is a case of "You can not be serious"!

The Stage Accompany sA8535 tweeters might be worth a $grand a pair on a good
day. They appear to be designed for very high power levels and very high
SPLs, as the brand name suggests. They are used in some pretty expensive
high end systems.

Seems that ribbon tweeters have made it into ubiquitous consumer product.
http://www.newlaunches.com/archives/...und_system.php

Amazon still have a few for USD245.

I bought a brand new pair of the speakers only (this is the 50W version) from
the local Philips agent late last year for approx equiv. GBP45. I've only
played them a few times - got them to take on a family reunion trip as
passable portable hifi (paired with a Cyrus 1 & a discman;-)) and was
gobsmacked at the bass depth for one thing (the Cyrus has no tone controls,
and the discman had a lline-out - no "megabass" setting used) from such
diminutative speakers, but the tweeter (my first ever ribbon) seems very nice
too. They're still packed away, awaiting serious investigation and use ...

Never got a chance to see the complete system - the speakers were extra pairs
sold as clearance product; might've been less unwieldy than the Cyrus ...
