Plastic ring over tweeter opinion


I was looking at the Mapleshade Audio website and they recommend:

"Remove your speaker's cloth or foam grill. Snip off any plastic phase ring in front of the tweeter. You'll hear as much as a 100% improvement in treble."

I wonder what members think of this "tweek"...it seems rather irreversible.

Can you say "more twinkle tweaking tweeter" fast 10 X's . If you can then I'll agree with that hocus pocus offered by mapleshady
:-))
I wanted to buy some of their maple platforms a few years ago cut to specific sizes to use in constructing a hardwood version of my Magro 24 stand. They couldn't guarantee accuracy better than ±.25".

One thing that seems consistent throughout their literature is that warmer is always better.
I posed the question to the speaker manufacturer and they wrote back:

"Hi Nick,

I forwarded your question to our head engineer, and he strongly urges that you not do any of the things recommended on that website. Many of the things recommended on that website will make things worse, some can even cause damage to the audio equipment.

Removing the diffuser from the M6 will make its high frequency dispersion worse. It will make the speaker brighter on axis. It will be different, but not better. This assumes that the customer can remove the diffuser without damaging the dome.

Furthermore, it would void your warranty. It is therefore our strong recommendation that you not modify your T6 in that manner."

I'm glad I asked, thanks all.
No need to cut the tweeter bridge. You can achieve everything you want by duct taping a "Clever Little Clock" directly above each tweeter.
