Yup Ron, OG is right.Can't get them anymore except used on eBay.The Symbiotiks sound terrible IMHO anyway unless you use a tweeter with them (No Highs).I never liked the sound of them.They were more for PA use Bands,clubs,etc.(High Power). You can still get a higher power diaphragm for them if that is what you want.It is a Pascalite diaphragm the model number for the small format is Model # 26420.

Anyone have a response graph of a symbiotik with or with out a super tweeter? I got tired of blowing my 802d's and installed them and thought that they sounded great in my A7-500's with 416-8a's along with a gaggle of Piezo super tweeters, the mid lows where stronger, the mid uppers where less shrill, and the highs where phenomenal. I think that I have a pair of 807's in my whore A8 clones, but can't reach the screws on the rear cover to check and don't care at the moment. With a lowly Piezo, they also sound great. This is all in Home Hi Fi.
