WTD Celestion hf 2000 tweeter

I believe that missing dust caps are common on that speaker. My friend said that his were missing. He said that they were not bad at all, but the Ditton 44 with the dome mid mod was better.

What's the "dome mid mod"?

Using the dome mid from the Ditton 66 in the Ditton 44. My friend did this, very good mod.

I'd thought about doing this but was too cheap when a pair came up and missed out, something to bear in mind if I see another pair, thanks Alex.

i'll have them tomorrow, the dust caps on the woofer are missing too but they work, but if they sound as good as the reviews say i'll be looking for another tweeter,

Did you get the 5700's Mike, if so what do you think of them?

yes, havent had a good listen with them yet but they are better than i thought they would be.

I'd be interested in your thoughts compared to the 44's. Regarding the HF2000 have you considered replacing them with the SEAS 19TFF1?

i'll wait for an orginal hf, no point dropping £20 on a temporary replacement, i havent done a direct a/b test, but initial thought was the celestions have a bit more bass but B&O have better mid range, bearing in mind the dittons have a 12" woofer compared to the 10" on the bang bangs. cheers, mike.

That's kind of how I'd expect they'd sound, they look like an excellent centre speaker to me! The SEAS is considered by a few an improvement over the HF2000, Ken has done a lot of work on 66's and considers them a worthwhile upgrade http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...358#post624358. I have a pair but have yet to fit them so don't speak from experience, nor trying to tell anyone how to suck eggs .
