Properly usedtweetersdon't really wear. OTOH the T33's use Ferrofluid, which sometimes can harden and become problematic . I don't know much about speaker's subcomponents and replacements. **Then forget about replacing tweeters. Just use the OEM parts. You cannot substitute *any* drivers in a system, without intimate knowledge of the characteristics of the replacements, the crossover values and you need to know EXACTLY what you are doing. However, you'll likely ignore this, because you've been told this before. Tweeters typically are sealed and not tuned w/ the cabinet. **Correct. That is 10% of the story. There are more important issues to be concerned with. Impedance levels dictate crossover points. The 107 has Zobel networks on each driver, which are intimately associated with the impedance characteristics of the driver. Hoping to find a replacement tweeter with an identical impedance curve is bordering on impossible. That said, someone with plenty of experience and some decent test equipment COULD do the job. However, anyone who has to ask questions here, clearly is well out of their depth. As is anyone who makes nonsensical, glib statements like yours. As long as the frequency response of the replacement tweeter is adequate, the main problem is matching levels. **Wrong. That is another 10% of the problem. Get a replacement tweeter that has the same sensativity and the replacement will work. **Work? Certainly. Work well? Not likely. You're talking out of your arse. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
