Royd Abbot tweeter

Unread post by jimbob »

Does anyone know what tweeter was used in the Royd Abbot and if something very close to it is available? A friend wants to source a pair or a modern equivalent.

Wasn't it the small dome Scan unit as used by Linn, Naim and Rega?

From Royd prior/abbot brochure, the prior uses a 19mm scanspeak tweeter whereas the abbot uses a " Royd 19mm dome tweeter with secondary chamber." you can see the brochure on the royd audio site. Doesn't specifically exclude it being the scanspeak driver but suggests so.

Thanks for the input but I think I've found the right or as good as tweeter.

The pics do seem to show the Scan tweeter but with a rubbery Royd stick-on cover, which should hopefully peel off with care.
