Celestion Ditton 44

Just had a poke about on eBay. These look close enough to work, 5 ohms impedance and the dimensions are about right, the sensitivity isn't known, but any excess ouput can be trimmed with a cheap L pad. Not to mention they're dirt cheap and being Yamaha they'll probably sound OK. The slight difference in impedance shouldn't matter.

I forget which model but one of the Seas Tweeters we a great replacement.

Oh...those look tasty, i am tempted to try them instead of the real mcCoys or the Seas replacements.

Geoff, reason i am thinking about butchering the 44 cabs is the recess could work, i could turn the cab upside down,
the 12'inch hole will definitely have enough clearance for the 295A magnets,
and bang a new baffle on with crosshead screw BBC monitor style, we're away, just a thought mind.

Yeah, i have seen those replacements before thanks.

Thanks Alex, 1st i heard Peerless as a possible, TBH the Wharfedale tweeters i have works a treat.

I guess that the Peerless will be a bit smoother that the Wharefdale tweeter.

Just measured the hole in my 44's, 100mm outer and 65mm inner holes, probably have to do cosmetic work on the inner hole to pass the Yammy magnets through, bought them anyway thanks Geoff.

Probably Alex, but there wasn't any imbalance and thats what i was happy with, i won't know now as i have committed to another brand.

I just looked at eBay and saw they'd gone. Wondered if it was you. Let me know how it works out.

I don't expect you to have any issues, but just as a precaution, in case there's a problem or mismatch to deal with. I'd suggest trying them wired to the tweeter connection wires, but outside the cabinets before you do any carpentry. You'll still get a fair idea of how the completed installation will sound.

Will do.

S'ok, i do that all the time, bloody attention deficit i have.

Got my Yammy tweeters, looks really nice little units, holes have to be widen for magnets and slightly larger baffle diameter has to be covered by a gasket to look right, working till 9pm this week so will tackle it in the weekend.
