Whizzer cone removal

I have big experience with removing whizzer cone, if you leave WC.,
is impossible to get good result with using Tweeter, All my model
Bache Audio i cut WC  in Tang Bang driver, i tell you based on long
time listening and measuring using RTA system. Dont hesitate, just
get sharp hobby knife and go ahead. The WC-is primitive tweeter
and cannot compare with  update High Quality Tweeter or sypertweeters.
I think WC came from   old professional audio using in Cinemas and came to Home Hi end for folk who liked vintage
I am wondering why some famous  brands using WC

@fourwnds    But to get good sound is not easy, some times you have
to carefully choose the cap crossover, to avoid sound too bright or
dull,

You might first try the non-damaging/easily reversible 98 cents open cell foam tweak.

Cut a thin strip of open cell foam and circle it around the outside bottom of the whizzer cone.

Readily available open cell foam is the Gray foam stripping often supplied with window mount air conditioners.

Or, just order open cell foam online.

Try difference sizes/amounts and vary the placement.

I use vintage Elac S517 drivers with whizzer cones (not listed with my setup) and have used various other vintage whizzer'd units from England and Japan.

@bache thanks for your input and experience regarding the whizzer situation. 

I get that I might be screwing the pooch here if I move forward with this. Why can't I leave well enough alone. I'm getting pretty great sound as it is. Curiosity killed the cat, or does fortune favor the bold, to be continued. . .  : )

My Hornings circumcised the Lowther drivers they used, removing the whizzer cone, and implementing a cone tweeter.  You may want to contact Tommy Horning for advice on doing so
