TAD TD-2002:I have been evaluating these without horns. Essentially, listening to them without the horns, but also with original horns. No difference, as I will describe what I am hearing in both configurations (applies to their high frequency reprod...

The EV 350 cones are still available form many sources, they are $25 per cone. There are some other phenolic domes for 1” driver, or smaller. I do not know anyone who does 3”-4” phenolic domes that would make them suitable for MF drivers.
As far as ...

[quote user="Wojtek"]I plan to attach tweeter in a place of the lense to bellows (I hope thats correct term) used in macro -photograpfhy .They look sturdy enough and should provide 10cm of fine ,easy adjustment and I can buy them cheap ($10) on any p...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]...To substitute SL600 original tweeter with anything else, would it be Revelators, Diamond or made from Faberge Eggs is like to make a movie with Humphrey Bogart and ask busboy form a nearby Chinese restaurant to re-record...

[quote user="manisandher"]Hi all, This thread has been a facinating read for me, and has prompted me to resurrect my old Celestion SL600 speakers. But their copper dome tweeters are looking (and sounding) rather worse for wear. Does anyone know where...

Dear SteveThe beauty of Plasma Tweeters are that they can reproduce 5k onwards to (I was told) 60kHz. I have a pair of the Coronas which I run in a tri amp set-up with independant remote volume control.My main speakers are full range S...

I've never understood the continual need to get equipment to have ever wider frequency response, to me (but then I'm a complete technonumpty) this just seems to be an exercise in chasing numbers to impress those that are impressed by spec sheets.&nbs...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Anyhow, I would like to add some addition to my “to do” list for 2008.
8) Try my new experimental AHFS in context of my RAAL “Water Drop” [/quote]
OK, I would like to share with readers of my site a notion is that I am ...

The more I conceptualize my view about tweeters the more I like sound of my playback without it. The last night there was a San Francisco broadcast with estimable Tilson Thomas on podium and I was shocked with stunning SFO’s tone. As many times I hea...

I know that tweeters is a “lost subject” and it is hard to talk about tweeters with audio people. Everyone understand tweeters differently, primary in context of this systems or even more correctly – in context of this frustrations with thier current...

All that I will be saying are the subject of my own experience with horns and my personal observations. You shouldn’t agree and most likely you will not. That is fine with me. I have lot of reasons behind what I will be saying and opened for some cla...

Well, I am not a big fan of plasma tweeters.
First, of all they generate a health hazardous gas while they operate. All contemporary plasma drivers have catalytic converters that presumably convert this gas into something neutral. The process of con...

I would rather to hear from the people who use tweeters over 10K to comment not about the “quality of the tweeters” but about the quality of amplification and the quality of electricity that they use to drive those tweeters. The better tweeter it is ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]You might change your mind after you put the PP2000 into the game. Anyhow, I do not know what Bruce did with his Titans tweeter; I do not even remember it they are in time-aligned position. The EdgarHorn Titans uses Fane ST...

The thing I notice with live music is the way the sound at all audible frequencies has articulated drive like I never hear with "true HF tweeters", or at least not the "tweeters" that go way up there. I got some sense of this drive and nat...

Ribbon might be a good choice, but what is wrong with horn tweeters?...
|
|
Partially is because not one was able, in my view, to integrate with playback that made me to like the Sound. The plasma tweeters always sound separate from the rest of channels, very nice itself by separate. Of cause I did not hear all plasma tweete...

Not to over think it, but just tossing it out there: Most tweeters/super tweeters do not have low pass filters to take care of +30 dB at 22k Hz. If your RTA uses a microphone, and your number is above the tweeter's natural output, adjusted for mic cu...

I am looking at those images and a bit puzzled. Do the tweeters attached to their mounting board under an angle or they are paralleled with the mounting board? It is very difficult to judge from those images. It looks like the tweeters attached to th...

Antonio,
The Amati's tweeter and the rest of the similar tweeters are totally out of game form the prospective of my post above. The Amati's tweeters kick in at 2.500 with first order (heavily compensated), it means that those tweeters run the imple...

[quote user="morricab"] It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. They ...

Ralph spends hours polishing those tweeters!...

Among the contemporary ion tweeters I heard only with Acapellas, multiple times, never was happy with the results as the tweeters sounded as different drivers to the enter speaker. Also in a past I bought on eBay a number of vintage ion tweeters – th...

Tweeters are a real mistery. Some should sound great and they dont, and some never will.I think you do need a lot of dynamics even at 10khz in order to get those sparkling highs that really jump out like the real cymbals and other crashing metals! O...

I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

Fostex T 500A MK 2 Horn Super TweeterArticle By Bill Gaw at www.enjoythemusic.com
As most of you know by now, I'm a horny type of guy. While my wife may dispute this, my audio system (actually my second partner) would have to agree as all seven spea...

The recent events in my playback made me to think about he new prospective duty of tweeters. Since the Super Melquiades was enlisted for duty the Vitavox S2 got it’s own dedicated amplifier channel and stopped to “see” the coil of upper bass driver. ...

Yes, Paul, you are right that it has to be pointed that the frequency extension, by itself, does not guarantee anything (but that’s why I posted the thread in Audio For Dummies section :-) ). OK, now let’s see how the tweeters should be used (in cont...

Actually Jorge brought a valid perspective: the HF that are crossed at 5K are not the same as HF that are crossed at 10K. The point is that in a playback that crossed at 5K one can’t talk about HF as a self contained expressive tool as in that type c...
