I have a pair of them as well sitting on a shelf waiting for me to do something with them. When I had my ET 8a, I tried them with them and didn't care for it.
The problem was the the stock x-over on the Linaeum comes in somewhere around 2500 khz. I think moving it up to 10,000 khz or more would be much better. I do plan on doing this at some point in the future.
Mine say 8ohms on the speakers, a friend you builds some nice DIY speaker say a 1uf cap will get me around 10,000 Khz a little more, (if I remember correctly). My plan is to build a small slim chassis to mount them on, big enough to fit a Cap in, binding posts, + an L-pad.
That will be a home grown super tweeter that I can then use on different speakers. As a matter of fact, a buddy just emailed earlier today and wants me to sell them. NOPE!

Benie,
You state that your tweeters are marked 8 ohms. My are clearly marked with an adhesive sticker 6 ohm "Made in Japan". Maybe there is some truth about two different versions. Here is a handly chart that gives one the idea of crossover values. I'm not an expert in this area so I cannot vouch for its acuracy.

Hoshi;
I guess they did make 2 different ones then. Mine also are clearly marked with an adhesive sticker 8 ohm "Made in Japan", with min + max watt ratings marked as well. I guess that clears that up.
Thanks for the link for crossover values, great info.
Quote from another source:
"It appears that there are different versions of the Lineaum tweeters. Radio Shack's older version used a mylar diaphragm but their newest version uses polypropylene. Aura Sound still uses the silk diaphragm in the original Lineaum design."
