Esotar Tweeters coming!
This week just ordered a pair of mobile (car) Esotar+ tweeters for my Contour S3.4s. This is the same exact upgrade that Josquin Des Prez (aka Dean) did a few years ago. My factory contact inside Dynaudio says these will work perfectly in the S3.4 w/ virtually no cross-over issues. Should be here in a few weeks, and then I begin the process of running them in for 300 hours. As the tweeters cover all the bandwidth from 2000 Hz on up, this should be a major upgrade as the Esotar+ is one the finest-performing and sounding tweeters on the market.

Nice! I've always thought the Esotars were one of the best tweeters ever made. That was my first choice for my audio system in my car, but the dealer said they're so large, they wouldn't fit most cars without some serious customization, not to mention the German cars like my MB, so I had to go with the Focal Utopias. I'm sure those will sound awesome in the Contours.

Congrats I run a set in my mains and one in my center speaker. Have used many and these are among the best with the proper crossover. A notch up is also not only the point that they cross over but the components in the cross over, all that said I think as is they are a big step up in your system and again congrats and looking forward to your impressions. Even out of the box they should be so much cleaner |
One of the attributes of the Esotar tweeters is an exceptionally smooth response without requiring additional crossover compensation to achieve their very natural high frequency extension. They are often used with simple first order crossovers which further reveals their amazingly transparent reproduction. A musically excellent and standout design!

Old thread, I know, and I'm trying to rack up my first 10 posts so I can gain better access. Puma Cat - I joined this site to get some intel on the esotar upgrade. Wife blew tweeter on my beloved NSMT so by getting even I bought lots of speakers ML, GE, Zu and I'm keeping the Dyn s3.4 (for now) They are a little more laid back than I'm used to but everything else is perfect. Will the esotar upgrade complete the s3.4? Does it make them an LE?

Follow up, any tips on getting the mobile e110 esotar at a bargain basement price? On ebay they are $1250ish. Is this the best i can hope for? I do not shy away from previously owned equip. Thanks in advance.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to replace these tweeters? I have a pair of 3.4's and purchased the mobile audio Esotar 2's. I am not sure if i remove the baffle or just the drivers alone to get the tweeter out. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!
