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.

You lost me at "as much as a 100% improvement in treble". Now how exactly did they quantify this benefit? What is this supposed to sound like? Also what is a plastic phase ring? I've seen some tweeters that have a plastic strip or series of strips which may help prevent damage but that wouldn't effect the phase of the driver. Smells like BS to me.
These are the same peo. who recommend sitting on the floor while listening. IMHO, they have a credibility issue like most tweakers.
Thanks, Zaikesman. I love the idea of sitting off-axis to your tweeter and putting your monitors closer to the floor to get more bass, and then snipping off the tweeter wave guide to get more treble. Gee, why dontcha just turn the freakin' volume up???
