I guarantee that if you go to the trouble of soldering the connections you will somehow hear an improvement. If you were to do a blind AB comparison, I doubt you would hear a difference and the hassle factor involved if you pop another tweeter should weigh into your decision. Also, if you are not careful and good with a soldering iron, you will be sure to damage the drivers, especially the tweeter.
Hardwire speaker driver connectors?
I just had a tweeter go out on my Acoustic Energy ae2's and replaced it with a spare I had. I noticed that the drivers have the slide in clips to connect the wires that lead to the crossover. Wonder if any have tried to hardwire/or solder their drivers to the wire leads, and if so to what benefit. Ive read of the benefits of direct connections, wonder how they may apply to speaker drivers.
