Baffle diffraction anyone?


Crossovers, anyone?

As long as the
frequency response of the replacement tweeter is
adequate, the main problem is matching levels. Get a
replacement tweeter that has the same sensativity and
the replacement will work.


Nope. Tweeters can display superficially identical
sensitivities and responses while having very different
electrical and/or acoustical properties.


Agreed. This is a KEF 107, not a FungooTek computer speaker. It is
definately worth it to do it *right*.

I can't believe that KEF doesn't have a replacement tweeter for sale at
price that is vastly less costly than the used equipment value of the
speaker.
