SF Grand Piano Home tweeter upgrade

oh sombody's done it im sure...maybe not on the forums much or at all to see my post...AG is less a hobbiest site than a few others..maybe someone will chime in. Im not married to the idea of definitely doing this..just a thought and wanting to ask if somone has been the road traveled. One thing is certain, the tweeter used in the GP homes is not up to snuff IMHO compared to some other designs at their price range or compared to the mid/bass drivers.

Agree with Elizabeth. Don't mess with it, it's a big mistake.

Kehut. if you happen to do it, please update as I too have SF Grand Home series floorstanding.
Thanks

If you don't mind losing $70 or whatever difference you can't make up, then by all means give it a shot. Just don't drill new holes or make any irreversible changes otherwise as the new tweets will make your speakers virtually impossible to resell. Is this a common mod or have you heard/read of it being done by others? In general I think Elizabeth is right. The manufacturer puts forth a lot of effort to match drivers to the cabinet and crossover design and tweak and tune. This is why I shy away from trying DIY when it comes to speakers.

Hi Kehut,
You can certainly drop another tweeter in, but I would assume that a quality manufacturer like Sonus Faber would put a tweeter pad for the perfect blend as well as impedance and resonance compensation in their crossover network for the tweeter being used. It is highly unlikely that any compensation network would work well with any other model of tweeter, even from the same manufacturer.
It won't damage anything to try... Good Luck, Tim
