I think you're confusing nominal impedance. Not confusing the terms but, unfortunately, I didn't use the correct ones explicitely. As you state, the nominal impedance is almost always offered but the complex impedance graph less commonly. I am in agreement with you that swapping drivers is a crap-shoot unless one is willing and able to undertake a potential redesign. Kal It comes down to how much work your prepaired for, if you just want the same result, by all means go for the KEF replacements, They should be the same values as the one's there replacing, and should not require any work on the crossovers. Plus, they will fit. If you deside on the Vifa's Scan Speak, or whatever, for best results you will need to play with the "cap' values in the crossover, to obtain a balanced result, As our friend states above, it's a "crap-shoot" you can buy the worlds best, but get the crossover values wrong, and they will sound like crap, and the cheapest tweeters around with good matching crossover componants will sound like the "ducks nuts" It's all about trial and error It's really a crap shoot, because it is impossible to merely diddle the crossover and get a good balance with a tweeter that is not efficient enough for the rest of the system. |
