Clements audio speakers?

The classic Clements RT-7 is going to be re-introduced in updated form in Fall, 2003, according to Custom Audio of New York City. My own pair date from the late 1980's.
Stupendous pitch accurate, deep bass from the transmission line variant bass design coupled to musical, accurate mid and high frequency performance with the special ribbon tweeter. Transients are crystal clear. The demanding human voice and piano sound very natural, but drums, bass, guitar, brass and percussion are always stunning to jazz fans.
This can even be driven by well designed tube amps with modest forty watts per channel such as Cary SLA-70 Signature model, itself an oldie, but goodie. Contemporary Aronov 60 watts per channel tube amp is even more dynamic sounding.
The loudspeakers currently in the line are high value. Talk to Custom Audio of NYC or Audio Essence of Georgia, dealers with whom I have had some contact and who really know Clements as true audiophiles, not just sales men.
This speaker designer is quite talented.

I have the only pair of Clements "Little D's" that I have ever seen. They are not book self speakers nor are they floor standing. They are small transmission line speakers that are supposed to be used with the original stands because they have to be tilted back a few degrees for the best sound. I guess one one could call them a mini monitor. They use a ribbon tweet and a 5.5" long throw woof. The cabinet is a molded two piece out of some kind of plastic or resin material. Very dense. I paid about $700 for them I think in the mid to late 80's. I have rewired them and re-finshed the cabinets twice. Once I used Audioquest solid core wirw and it made a significant improvement in the sound over the original wire (common 4 conductor telephone solid core). These things look hand made down to the deflection baffle on the ribbon. They are very nice sounding speaks and can take a lot of abuse if you are so inclined. The only times the woof crapped out was during music with very powerful low end information like on a song from Peter Gabriels self titled album and, I think Ricki Lee Jones first album playing Danny's All Star Joint. The basss is pretty good for the size of the driver. My pair look like a prototype or early first run. I caontacted clements a while ago when they were still in Canada. they wanted $50 a peice for new grills. Obviously I have the pair they came with. The owner sold the company then bought it back. I talked to him a year or so ago about a new ribbon for one of the tweeters and he said they go for $100 apeice. I am thinking of replacing them with a pair of vifa tweets for about $35 bucks apeice.

Klimek99, Interesting how you used your Little D's as a platform to experiment. I saw a pair at Stereo Exchange in NYC sometime in the late 80's when I listened to my RT-7's. And again, in Toronto suburb, when a tourist. So there are at least two of your model known to have been in existence.
By the time I heard your model, the Little D's (I think this is a reverse allusion to Big D, or Dallas, Texas, a big deal place in the 1980's) I had become accustomed to giant transmission line variation bass in my Clements RT-7, and no longer able to scale down my expectations in the bass department. I recall the treble was fine, but I can seen that $200 is a lot more than $70 to get your tweeters working, in 2004.

Correction: "but I can see that"
Why try to type at 4 AM, anyway?
