Could be just what I was looking for.

For the past few weeks, I've been thinking of adding a tweeter to my IIc's, but was unsure of which way to go. I've read about other people doing it, but mostly with ribbons. I need something inexpensive that works well. These little dipole look like the ticket.

My room is kind of smallish, and extremely live. The left side is fully open into the kitchen, and loading the room with bottom end is tough (also using a sub). Anyways, I'm using 3 ohm resistors to reduce the level of the tweeters, to better match the in room response with the bass panel. I have a nice full sounding balance, but am really missing top end air and sparkle. My SMGa's were the same way. These older planar magnetic tweeters certainly fall short of top end.

I'll scrounge up a pair of these Linaeums, and give them a shot, although with the IIc's being 6 feet tall (with only 8 foot ceiling), I'm not sure if mounting them on top would be the best location.
