The KSN1038 is no longer being made. I used that driver for 25 years, and I really liked it for the Studio Series models. It was simple, inexpensive and very good sounding. So I was disappointed that the line was being discontinued and no one seemed willing to purchase the tooling. But I made lemonade from the lemons and redesigned. I bought up hundreds of KSN1038 tweeters so I would have inventory for a while, took my time finding alternate tweeters and taste-testing the end result. I think it was worth it. You can upgrade to the DX25 for thirty bucks. It comes with everything you need to make the swap. New kits are seventy five, and come with speaker drivers, internal wiring already assembled and ready to go, including gold-plated binding posts, Solen caps and Perfect Layer coils.
