Yet this article suggests under 50C for midrange/woofers in home audio.

The poster was interested in tweeters which would be even less

Why dont you take some time and find us some better answers? instead of simply dissagreeing? ;-)

It's just me being over-protective of the hand made Morels.

I really think they will be ok, There not cheap speakers...

I wonder how long it takes to actually complete a set of speakers hand made

^ A set every 30seconds.

Anyway - if it's going to bother you then move the tweeters but IMO it really shouldn't be a problem.

LOL and I have 3 kids, a wife, 2 girlfriends and a job.
Oh, You mean the girls on my PASmag cover page are not my girlfriends? my wife seems to get jealous enough every time a new copy comes in! BOL

I looked up varnishes for magnet wire and the top out at about 200c
Remember solder melts at less than 200C
