Robert young Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi everyone i hope someone can help me i’m building a pair of replica acoustic research mst,these speakers hold very fond memories for me,my father owned a pair,coupled with a rotel ra1210 amplifiers I remember how fantastic they sounded as a child,and are the reason I am a hifi nut,I recently bought the same amp!.i have the original woofers for these speakers,I am making the crossovers. unfortunatly the Roy Alison tweeters are pretty much impossible to source,can anyone recommend a modern tweeter that could be used in these speakers ? Any advice would be awesome ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, Robert, and welcome to this forum. I am not a terribly active buyer or seller, but I would tend to disagree with your statement above - - - I think that original AR 1-1/4" tweeters can be found on the used market fairly frequently. The primary difficulty in the case of your intended project is the shear number of tweeters required, regardless of whether you opt to replicate the 3-tweeter or 4-tweeter version of the MST model. Also, these various tweeters came with two sized of magnets which I presume may have resulted in different sensitivities, and this may further complicate your search. These cabinets will not be simple to construct - - - have you got sufficient dimensions? I have one MST cabinet on hand and am able to assist if you need further information.
