One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened?


I own a pair of the amazing Optimus 5 (yeah, that's right, RADIO SHACK) speakers with the Lineaum tweeter.

I modified them according to an old article by Dick Olsher, and am still amazed by the clean, fast, transparent high frequency reproduction they accomplish.

Anyone know whatever happened to Lineaum? Seems like a killer "reference" speaker could have been made using this amazing tweeter...

BTW -- I currently own a pair of M.L. Prodigys, so I have a good reference point for high frequency reproduction ;>)

i owned a pair of the optimus pro (5x?) with the linauem tweeter--they really did sound refined, but they wouldn't play loud--did anyone else have that experience?
I agree TBG....the Ionivac tweeters were great....but they were bad for the environment, and may have a health issue.   
Love Dick Olsher. I still have a pair of the LX5 he mentions in his article. They're great for rear channel surround sound use!
