would love to pick them up, but how do I know they're the real deal and not fake?

 

They are real...

 

I'd pay 700 for the tweeters

 

are you the one selling them?>

 

Go do your research; we are DIYMA.

I don't know about this auction nor do i know how to identify the fakes coming out of China. Seems to me, though, that the Tweets would be pretty hard to get right. Just as important is the need, with used beryllium tweets, that there has been no skin contact with the material which will degrade upon contact.

 

3fish, you are right. any small contact to the tweeter beryllium coat and it´s useless. sound changes a lot. my friend and I had this experience.

 

Wish I had the coin,nice set. Good luck!

 

nice set.. focal ftw

 

off topic is that you scottie j?

 

nope. scottie b!

 

Hmmm, very nice set.

I won't drop my classical (who said "vintage" ? ) Utopias for these now the hassle to integrate them in the car is done (I won't drop them anyway actually ), but the Be are far easier to embed, thanks the the low profile meds.

The hardest was to embed my 7W2, anyway... The 5W2 were mounted in a snap, though they have a fat ass compared to those nice Be.
