I have more than 6 original souri speakers, there is also the option to be able to repair them. with its original ohms or 6.2.
Fast and safe service.

Price for tweeter 300 euros if you repair it. (one)
Price for 2 600 euros .

I teach you how to repair it via Skype

or if i do 350 for one
700 for 2.

best regards!

He is offering Souri cutter head repair or tech support to help people repair their own if they buy the speaker from him. Nice service that I'm sure a fair number of folks would love to take advantage of. I've seen several posts on here of blown VR heads and I had one of my own back in the day.

My understanding was the genuine Souri Tweeters are no longer manufactured?
and they did retail at €50 - €60 each ......So charging €600 for a pair before the required extensive modification appears VERY EXPENSIVE! When you could purchase a New Nightingale for just over €2,000 (that Includes feedback and Is not made from car tweeters)....I know what I would buy

Perhaps, but everybody is allowed to offer their services and products for whatever price they want, and everybody is allowed to comment on that price or service. But, let's all be nice to each other. There are a ton of nuances in this and many other situations here.

A few questions :- you mention having silk domes?
I understood they were originally metalic ie titanium ?
You mention having the coils?
Surely nobody Would change a coil In a $50 tweeter?
I am really not trying To catch you out but I do think these are reasonable questions

As far as I can remember, it was mentioned in the training that fixing a blown cutter head costs 800 EUR.
Luckily the cutter head of my VR is not (yet) broken -fingers crossed. I have a good contact with the manufacturer of the VR. In case of a blown head I would probably contact him and get hopefully a new head.
As member @piaptk mentioned: There are a ton of nuances. And there may be constellations where a contact with the manufacturer of the VR is difficult.
If you have good mechanical skills, you can probably repair a cutter head by yourself. For all the others this one is an offer to consider.

original good tweeters are from silk whit the cutterhead whit feedback. Is the another generation from souris cutter.
About repair.. or make yourself or talk whit me, is your decision, I only offer my services. Too expasive? I thing not! more expensive is that they don't give you technical support.
