ribbon tweeters


Has anyone experimented with replacing their old dome tweeter with a ribbon tweeter? If so what crossover mods are needed if any?Finally,is there such a thing as a"one size fits all" ribbon tweeter? I am not talking add on super tweeters.

Jeeez, I thought you were referring to Martin Logan (mentioned in yr "system")!!
Of COURSE you can play around. Hi Vi & B&G could be (cheap) contenders -- for a more expensive (real) ribbon you can check out offerings at Madisound & Zalytron.
You must find the xover's hi-pass frequency & filter slope & the present tweets' impedance (at the xover frequency -- or the nominal one).
The most difficult part will probably be fitting the new tweet to the opening...
