HiVi speaker info?

[gearhound]

Hello people!!
I've read some good reviews on HiVi speakers.
So I picked up a pair of HiVi 1" soft dome tweeters for a future DIY project.
At $12.50 each from PE, they won't break my bank account if I don't like them.
Has anyone used HiVi drivers for any projects, and if so, what did you think of them?
Thanks!!

Steve

I use Hi Vi Planars in my DIY speakers and they are terrific. I also own a pair of Swans Diva 2.1's which are loaded with HIVI drivers. They sound excellent for what they are.

I like HIVI as well, used their Planars and woofers in a couple of designs and liked them a lot. The "Q's" are accurate and the build quality good!
Here is one of the designs I built using their 12" woofer and Planar tweeters- the mids were nice Dayton 7" types and the cabs were refinished EV Marquis.

I have some of the inexpensive tweeters and they are a good bargain.
