Hales transcendence 8 tweeters

Ejvic,
Once installed give them 40 to 60 hours before getting critical... the worst thing you would need is to change 1 or 2 resistors in your crossover, You will get these to blend quite well. I'll be glad to help with that if you can get the info from your crossover and do the work."

Do you think it would work if you put the resistor directly in the upper binding post like you do on Magnepans?

Hi ZD542,
Not on the binding post... a single resistor will add resistance to the speaker, if added to the tweeter, it will add resistance to the tweeter. If Hales used a single resistor in the crossover as a pad, the resistor is figured into the crossover frequency, If he used 2 resistors as an l-pad, we can simply change these 2 resistors without effecting the crossover at all.... of course, there is a shot that the tweeter sounds pretty good without mods.

Ejvic, don't worry about the crossover... mount the tweeter, get a good listen.... then we can worry about changes if your not happy. I suspect that it will be pretty good... and if the earlier post on the Seas tweeter was correct, we may need to completely remove a resistor or 2....

Ok..I saw a couple dale resister in series in the tweeter area if I am not mistaken..I'll wait for the tweeters and listen to them for a while..the one installed is not too bad except if the volume is a little louder then I start noticing the brightness of the sounds just like you said it is higher volume ...the t8 is a good sounding speakers ..sounds like live music kind if thing..they nothing compare to my sonus Faber Amatti homage but t8 is really sounds good.thanks

Give Bill Legall from Millersound a call to get his opinion on this situation;he is well known in the business and highly respected for his work.
