Matsu Tweeters used in SONAB loudspeakers

Post by array »

There have been other SONAB owners who have made the decision to upgrade their loudspeakers using the Matsu 2.25" cone tweeters. One recent owner stated:

"I received the Matsu tweeters in perfect condition (beautifully packed) and
delivery time was exceptional considering I live in Australia!
One of the great things about these sweet sounding tweeters is that if you
are a SONAB owner as I am (OD11 and OA14) you will not have to alter
any of the mouldings at all. They fitted absolutely perfectly into the recess of the
OD11's and once I wired them up and played a few of my favourite reference CD's
I was stunned at the accuracy, the smoothness and warmth that I had realised had
slowly gone missing over the years.
I spend a huge amount of time recording and mixing down music in my studio for
variuos artists and have done so for more than 25 years,
and when I listen to music in a more recreational atmosphere (my lounge living area)
I really love my SONABS. They would have to be the most natural sounding speakers
I have heard to this day. Some may disagree, but thats my opinion!
I can highly reccomend to anybody out there, the Matsu tweeters as replacement or
better, an "upgrade", to enhance your SONABS. Well done Chris and thankyou for
a great choice for me.

Regards Geoff Cross, Australia"


Another owner remarked:

"The Matsus have better high frequency response than do the Peerless MT-225..."

-Philippe, France


I just thought the forum would like to know as to some real world examples of the Matsu tweeter in use.

It seems there may be quite a few pair of SONABs in Australia as another Matsu tweeter user has agreed to share his opinion;

"Yes indeed those tweeters are very impressive and suit the reflective design of my Sonab OD-11’s. Occasionally I do tend to “wind up” the system and get it thumping and the tweeters handle the job excellently. Very crisp."

Henrik, from Sweden, recently bought two pair of Matsus had this to say:

Hello. I recieved the tweeters promptly and in a very good package. I am tuning them in and they sound very promising so far. Seems to be a superior replacement in Sonab OD11 and similar. Thanks /Henrik

Hej. Jag fick diskanterna i utmärkt tid och bra paketerade. Spelar in dem och så här långt låter de mycket lovande. Verkar vara en utomordentlig ersättning för Sonab OD11 och liknande. Tack /Henrik
