I wonder which version of the ring radiator they are using?

You can find them at Alpines web site, as they are their own design. Possibly comissioned to Scan-Speak for manufacture.

I never said they were exact, I said they looked like a smaller version of the scan speaks.

P.S

Looks like you didnt find them...so your pie hole better be shut untill you can proove me wrong.

There's nothing to find. I was just pointing out that your "costs $1200 to buy the drivers" is very very wrong.

The best proof I have for you is that the Scan tweeter you linked to has a motor structure larger than the whole Alpine tweeter. The only similarity I can see is the waveguide on the dome, but that has a lot less to do with performance than the motor does.

Im quite aware that the tweeter is not close, no need to tell me something I already knew 8 months ago.

Don't know if this helps clear up the debate of which tweeters they are. Seems as if the new SPX-17PRO tweeters might bethe previous model F#1 Status tweeters, and those are likely an offshoot of the R2904 Revelator tweeter.

Tweeter - again unique to Alpine - we retooled the chamber for integrated terminals. Our front plate is custom, although other brands do this too. The phase plug was also shortened, to increase safety in a car crash, as it made little difference to the sound.
