You’ll need to order through your Naim dealer. Last we heard here was that they were in very short supply so hopefully you’ll be lucky. Otherwise, there are other sources, as per my post above.
I used Falcon Acoustics for replacement tweeters on my Credos and it made a huge difference. They weren’t matched though but that doesn’t matter in my particular case.
SL2s deserve matched one’s though so I hope you’re in luck.
Have you checked the connections between the crossover and tweeter assembly ? It would be worth swapping the crossover boxes between speakers just to eliminate the crossover as an issue.
Give the tweeter a little sniff. Then compare to the other one. See if you can tell if you have been frying some sausages on the dead tweeter. In saying that it could be a dry solder joint as well. Naim told me last year they still have matched tweeters and woofers for the sl2. So you should be fine. Good luck
Few years ago now but Naim supplied replacement matched pair of SL2 tweeters. Purchased them through Cymbiosis who prepared the tweeters for install by soldering on the flying leads and 4mm sockets.
Installation was then “mechanical” (i.e. no soldering) with the addition of some Hylomar blue between tweeters and their mounting plates. The tweeter terminal plates have keyhole shaped holes for the 4mm sockets allowing them to be installed after they are soldered to the tweeter flying leads.
If Naim no longer have stock then another source is Willys-hifi .com (no relation). They have the correct tweeters listed by speaker type.
Hi Willy or anybody that really knows.
Hylomar blue (aerograde I guess) is that what naim use? Do they supply it or is it something that you just go out and get. Also the Nm torque for the tweeter mounts/face plate bolts any idea what that should be?
Do you folks think it’s a worthwhile exercise to replace the tweeters due to age and not mechanical function issues?
Cheers
Can’t recall what the torque setting was for attaching the tweeters but when in doubt go with 3.6Nm. Alternatively your friendly Naim dealer could supply the correct value.
I wasn’t aware of any issues with my tweeters until one of them failed. Replacing the pair brought a considerable improvement in performance. Surprisingly (well to me at any rate) was the the greatest improvement was in Bass quality.
