Acapella ion tweeters


Does anyone know about Acapella ion tweeters (specifically the TW1S)? I would be interested to know about the following:
1) If you have any experience with them, are they really the best out there? Are there are other tweeters which can match their speed? Are there others with similar technology?
2) Did they have ozone problems at one point or do/did all extant versions of the TW1S have it licked?
3) Are they now available separately? I remember reading in a post many moons ago that they only came as part of their speakers (I believe the mysterious Detlof was the author) but the website has a separate listing for them. And if available separately, does anyone a) have ANY idea what they might cost? and b) who in the US or Europe (or even better, Asia) might sell them?
Thanks, Travis

We are a dealer for the Acapella line here in Colorado U.S.A. The tweeters are indeed available separately (at least in this country. I am surprised it is different in your country Detlof). They are $6,900 USD a pair (though the Euro/dollar conversion fluctuates a lot these days). They can be connected to your system using standard RCA connectors. They come intheir own separate, attractive and mountable enclosure. They do not have any ozone problems.

They are very, very good and they will improve any speaker out there (except other Acapella speakers, of course, which already have the tweeter :-).

We are at: www.audiofederation.com. There is another dealer in Texas and another in California (both U.S.) and one in Toronto (Canada). I do not know if there are any in Asia.

The California dealer has some really cool pictures of the tweeter here on Audiogon at: http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?spkrfull&1036312491

Enjoy!
