Hi, this is the tweeter of my Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus speaker 👇
As far as I know the woofers of this speaker are from Seas, but I'm not sure if the tweeter is from the same manufacturer.
Does anybody know this information?
Thanks.

Looks like a variant of the Scanspeak R2604/832000 with a new faceplate and rear chamber.

The date of production seems to be 2006, and the Discovery line was introduced only in 2009. I'm not sure if before 2009 SS was producing such a tweeter, but I'm pretty confident it wasn't. Chances are high that this driver is a Vifa.

Yep, custom XT-25. As an aside, Vifa-Speak (when they were still under the same umbrella) held the US Lars Golar patent on that form of ring-radiator from mid-2000 - late '01 depending on whether you go by assignment or granting, and the various others national patents from roughly the same time period. So theoretically it'll be a Vifa OEM, though which factory of the partners / under the overall ownership actually produced them is open to question (if it even matters). The patent itself is currently classed as being assigned to DAS / Tymphany, but expired back in 2020.
