Mods for Avantgarde speakers

chadeffect, I'd strongly adv against inserting another box into the chain. beside that box you DO need separate amps and dacs . the improvement of aligning the tweeter with the mid is rather large. my friend who came over recently and who also owns omega duos listened first to my duos with tweeter aligned. hit pause on my transport, moved tweeter back in its original position and hit play. after a few seconds he said "oh shit"!

The idea of sdrsdrsdr to built a separate stand for the tweeter is a good one. I can imagine it would be easy to built something from wood.

Guys, don't worry about reflections from the other horns. whatever sound from the tweeter gets reflected will be reflected back to the front wall and causes no harm to the sound!

sdrsdrsdr, I would start moving the tweeter app. 15 cm back and then move them further back in small increments until you hit the right spot.

hornguys, agree speaker sound good stock but they can sound a LOT better with some tweaks! besides time alignment changing the tweeter cap also makes a dramatic improvements and moves the speaker to the next level. I'm using the teflon v-caps. Dueland cast would be another option. the stock mundorfs are decent caps but do not allow tweeter to perform at the level it is capable of!

Duomike,
Do you know of a way to pre break-in caps. Teflon caps take on long time.

At least, you guys can move your tweeters.
In my Duo Omega G2 tweeters are built into the sub. Cabinet,
Like UNO or Grosso.

sdrsdrsdr, chris of vh audio offered to put my 2 caps for 4 days on a cable cooker. guess this helped a lot. they still needed several hundred hours to reach their max performance. you can put some stuff in the tweeter horns like socks, disconnect the other drivers and play music 24/7 without bothering anyone in the house.

maril555, this the the main disadvantage of the G2 series imo. I like the looks of then G2 series. they are also more solidly build but putting the tweeter into bass cabinet is not a good idea. maybe its possible to remove the tweeter from the cabinet and put it on top for time alignment???

Duomike,
Removing tweeters from the enclosure sounds like a major "surgery", I'm not up for it, at least not yet.
I'm wondering, if Avantgarde had a good reason to change the design, other, than "to save" on not having to make a separate enclosure for the tweeter.
