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.

This is more complicated than you may think. The crossover needs modification and someone who really knows what they're doing needs to do it. A theoretical crossover point and curve may or may not work. I'd not do it. Get different speakers. I understand why you'd want one as my ribbon tweeters are as good as I've ever heard.
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. :)
Pick your ribbon and write to Bill Legall an absolute MASTER repair replacment man. If anyone an do it he can and adjust your crossover if its possible. Millerspkr@aol.com. I am not affiliated with him except I consider him a friend.
He really is known nationally and will tell you what can be done. Be prepared to pay some money he's relatively inexpensive but what you want sounds expensive,
