Dayton Audio DC28FT-8 1-1/8" Silk Dome Truncated Tweeter

I bought these to replace the tweeters in a recently acquired pair of KEF C40's. The original tweeters had a rubberized coating on them that had completely flaked off. This had a very negative impact on the sound, it was very dull and muffled in the high ranges. Because of the KEF's design, a truncated surround was necessary. I came across these tweeters on Parts Express and the dimensions were very close to what I was looking for. The outer plate is provides perfect coverage, but the screws did not line up, and the terminal location made it so I had to modify the enclosure to be about 3mm wider on one side. No big deal, in the end they look perfect, as if they were original equipment. In fact, I think they look better than the stock tweeter. Now for the sound... Fantastic! After a few hours of break in these really come alive. Very clear and articulate, but not the slightest bit of harshness. Very smooth, yet present. For an 89 db rating they certainly keep up with the dual 8" woofers in these speakers. They improved the sound of the C40's beyond my expectation. I never heard the stock tweeter when it was in new condition, but based on build quality, I would say the Dayton is an upgrade no matter what. The only thing that concerns me is how delicate the silk dome is, especially seeing it is tacky feeling. I've already noticed a few hairs stuck to it that I had to clear off. We will see how well these hold up, but for now I am very satisfied. For $16 a piece these are an excellent bargain. My biggest problem now is that my KEF's sound so good now, I no longer want to listen to my JBLs that I love so much...

These units replaced a pair of good ribbon tweeters, and gave a far softer and more rounded sound, but with no loss of detail... An absolute bargain😁

Suenan muy bien a un buen precio, totalmente recomendable

Decent enough sound quality if they suit your system.

A very high-quality speaker, but they sent me with adhesive protection in the dome itself, any dust, polyester, easily stuck to it, I had to remove the protective film ... I think in the warehouse, due to humidity, the film began to deteriorate I couldn't return the item because I'm not in America.
