There's a bargain. I always found ESS Heil drivers hugely transparent. Good handshake with JBL bass and mid drivers esp in diy builds.
No I hadn't... interesting. They seem to be winding down their business. They haven't had any speakers available for a while.
I have a pair of their tweeters that I will probably never use. If anyone would like them as tweeters or to stack on their existing AMTs to get greater output and a broader vertical pattern, let me know.

I was at a Hi Fi show in San Francisco when Dr. Heil presented his idea for bass: two woofers stacked and joined with carbon fiber rods, and as I recall, its own amp.I traded at one point some antique hi fi for a pair of Heil tweeters. Many years later they went on eBay.The only place I ever heard the ESS AMT-1's was Tower Records on Columbus in San Francisco. The Heil name always made me a little uneasy. It would have been a worthwhile gesture, I think, to call them Oskar tweeters instead. That would have been emphatically on the right side of history.
My friends who have listened to these AMTs at home have bought them in turn. Even if they can be used up to 800Hz this is not where they are at their best, I have the same opinion as Todalin on this point. Another advantage in some configurations they are isodynamic. On one of my kit I like it very much as a tweeter and not for the mids.
Sale on again ... if interested (no association):

AMT pair and mounting kit $250, presumably +tax etc...
I’m in this time.
Mine are on the way.
Thanks Grumpy! And thank you Rob for suggesting I give these a go.
Barry.
Thanks for the post. I got in this time too. Want to try a pair per side on Klipschorn bottoms.
You can waveguide these to great effect- basically you just want to make the magnet laminates extend out further in a flat plane, and terminate the edge with as much roundness as possible. https://www.enjoythemusic.com/diy/12..._amt1_horn.htm
I've already done this and generated the file but the site will not let me display the flairs. I see no way to post photos here anymore and you can't simply put in the URL. The curve begins right at the "flat." I actually have two sets. One is with the flair/curve and the other simply extends the existing 45 degree angle out with a point at the terminus. I had a friend make them on his 3D printer.https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...e9427980f0.jpghttps://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...6c964e1537.jpg
Are you people running Windows7 Pro and Chrome? For me, this site no longer has the icons for any insertion or link of any type. And if I try to put in the URL, it errors. I've found that what I need to do is put in my own opening brackets with the appropriate code, copy in the picture, then put in my own closing brackets/code to make it work.
