dont like the myriad of soft tweeters speakers (of differing materials) I’ve heard as they dont get brass instruments and cymbals right with the proper metallic clang ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Problem w all dome tweeters is the fact , they are all being xover too low, Yeah I know Seas/Scan and SB Acoustics claim 2500hz-3khz is perfectly ok. But IMHO you are asking the T to do something that may add breakup/distortion. Especially w my classical/operas. I placea single 8uf cap which takes the T to 5k. Thats it. Now the T is very happy and sings beautifully. No stress, no breakups. Troels attempts to achieve this magical xover fq to 2k hz to meet his midwoofers. I can’t stand fq’s w T’s below 5k hz. After lengthy experimentations and cash investments, I FINALLY figured out why my classical music was not LIVE sounding Now I have a front row seat in all my 1950’s operas, , Corelli/Turnadot never sounded so powerfully dynamic and full of soul.
Not so fast. High-Pass XO with one cap gives you a 1st order slope (6db/octave). So for example, at 5KHz XO point, you are only 12 dB down at 1250Hz (2 octaves down from 5K). If you use a 4th order XO (24db/octave) at 2.5Hz XO point, you will be 24db down at 1250Hz. A much better, and less stressful configuration for the tweeter, even though it is crossed over lower. Your tweeter setup, which you brag about, is actually working a lot harder, and not sounding as good as it could (XOver too high for a good transition to a conventional midwoofer).
