Can anyone please identify the square backplate tweeter from a D5, all I can find are the oblong plated ones, doesn't help when I don't even know the manufacturer.
The no.7240 is stamped on the back of the magnet if this helps at all.https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/p...t-speakers.jpg
Hi Martin,
They did use a Fane tweeters in them but that is stamped on the rear of the plate at the top.
I have owned a few D5 (in fact may still have a FWO pair) and seem to recall that there may have been alternatives versions on the tweeter. The kelvar woofer appeared to be a constant.

These are the oblong ones though
Hi the original manual states PCH24/8 'upper mids/ HF' drivers. M

You are welcome Martin. Always enjoyed the D5. Great performers for their size. M
As you say great little speaker, well worth saving.Quote:

There is a pair on eBay for £100, or best offer.
They look quite good, but the Seller hasn’t removed the grilles even though I asked.
I’m always suspicious if they don’t respond to a request for pictures...
Thanks for the heads up Martyn, unfortunately been out in the wilds for a couple of days and me being a luddite non-smartphone user, missed them.Quote:
