The KEF T27 unit is a tweeter not the super tweeter. I sent my T27 back to KEF for repair a while back, 1994-5 ish, so you could see if they are still making them as they certainly still fix them. Wilmslow Audio used to do kits for transmission lines so they might be a source for the Units. MalcolmX
