Upgrading my tweeters and need some opinions......


Looking for your opinions about soft dome, metal dome, ribbon, and ring radiators. I have audax titanium dome tweeters(about 10 years old) that have had the domes pushed in a few to many times. The reason why I chose these in the first place was because all soft dome tweeters I had heard at the time were very splashy. Has this been corrected or should I still stay away from them?
I haven't heard any of the ribbons since the old krell series I thought they were pretty good. And I haven't heard ring radiators at all. It's tweeter TIME people...

I think you should direct your question to the experts at the www.Madisound.com forum. Most likely they will tell you that you should hear examples of all of those options, and then form your own opinion about the +'s and -'s of each type.

Then you will certainly need to share your crossover, other srivers and box dimentions with one of these experts and have them make a first attempt at updating your crossover to go with the new tweeter. Then you may need woodworking to make it fit correctly.

All in all, I wouldn't try this unless you are prepared to experiment and possibly wind up with worse sound than you have today. I think its time to look for brand new speakers.

Good luck,
Bob
