Anyone with experience with Accuton. I have used Morel in the past.

Given the high price of these ceramic tweeters I wonder if many have experience using them.

Those Cup-a-Soup stand mounts looks stunning :clapping:

I am Sorry.

I figured an Accuton / Morel Supreme build would be very different from a SEAS Prestige / Wavecor build.

Mods feel to merge my threads.

There is someone who is selling Accuton mid-woofers and tweeters here: FS: Accuton Drivers

IMO the asking price of 2K USD is more than reasonable.

I had seen this listing and was quite tempted but didn't want to spend that kind of money. Members in that site seem to be genuine lot. I had purchased some cables from one of the FMs and they turned to be quite good. However as per my experience, taking help from a resident of US for dealing with them and taking delivery certainly help in closing the deal than trying it from here. In my case, I had a cousin who lives in CA but has several friends in different states and fortunately there was one in the same city as the member who was selling.

Accutons are very hard to tame but once done ......... enlightment

That's what kept me away from them in the past - that and their high price. SEAS's Excel and ScanSpeak Revelators (no mean drivers) are half the price on an Accuton! :sad:

Have you worked with Accutons? From your comment it seems that you have and I would be very happy with any feedback, help, advise you could offer.

You are rightly doing some research. Cool, all the best.
