    New Finalists?

    Hi!
    I'm new here and have just started on my finalists build, I've held of for a while since the Dayton RS28F tweeters were expensive to source due to them being sold out almost everywhere and an updated version with the morel CAT was coming.
    I heard that the new version is done, but I can't find it, or any information on the speakerdesignworks page? And the RS28F are impossible to source now.

    I have the Dayton RS225's and the Vifa NE149 with crossovers, except for the RS28F tweeter and its crossover parts. I've scoured the web in search for the crossovers but I'm coming up empty.
    Can somebody shed some light on the situation?

    Meniscus asked Curt to select a new tweeter and update the Finalist design. Meniscus will be able to provide parts and crossover for the new version.

      Thank you for the response.

      So the new design is exclusive to meniscus? I checked and just the tweeters with the most basic components will run me over $400 from meniscus. Shipping($50+ alone), taxes and customs kills it.
      Never the less, I e-mailed meniscus... Hopefully they can help so I don't have to scrap the project.

        I wasn't involved with the tweeter revision so I can't answer your question regarding the crossover availability. I've not seen the crossover or heard the speaker with the Morel tweeter. The good news is, Curt said the Morel tweeters sound better and it already sounded really good, IMHO.

        I hope it works out for you. The Finalist is a very nice speaker.
