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.

Well, the sensitivity of the ribbon would need to be a close match to that of the other drivers, or a little higher so that the crossover could be adjusted for proper balance. Also, the crossover point would need to be considered or reconsidered...

Short answer: One size does not fit all. If you just blindly pop any ribbon tweeter into any given speaker system it's going to sound like that's exactly what you did. :)
