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..."

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

Re: Matsu Tweeters used in SONAB loudspeakers
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."

Re: Matsu Tweeters used in SONAB loudspeakers
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
