One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened?

I don't know if Linnaeum is still in business or not. I've still got several of these tweeters in the boxes but have never really messed with them.

As to the article that you mention as written by Dick Olsher, i would be curious as to where this can be found? Was it in a magazine, on the web somewhere, etc ??? Sean

The founder of Lineaum, Paul Paddock, was later involved with Impact Technologies, maker of the Airfoil 5.2, which I own. They also went belly up a year or two ago. Awesome design!!

Hi Sean --

I can't remember which publication it was in. Olsher has written and reviewed in several different magazines over the years.

I will dig through my extensive audio magazine archives and try to locate.

Also, correction... The model is an Optimus PRO LX4. Dimunitive little speaker with real wood side panals, yellow Kevlar mid./woof with the Lineaum tweet.

I really don't think this was the best tweeter. The Ionovac plasmas were the best I hear. Ultimately Hill Plasmatronics tried to get plasma down into the midrange and Pass had a full range plasma that nearly killed him. The present plasma tweeter of Acapella is the outgrowth of this technology. I still hear only the excellence of this tweeter when I hear their speakers using it. It is too bad no one has ever overcome the inefficencies and ozone associated with this design and gotten it into a full range design.
