Hales transcendence 8 tweeters

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.

Ejvic,
I hope that you did indeed buy the F version (not A version) of the tweeter that I recommended.... I've been researching the Hales info extensively. I have a photo of the crossover and I'm sorry to say now, but I have found a replacement diaphragm for the tweeter....
Here is the diaphragm: http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/scanspeak-voice-coils/scanspeak-voice-coil-d3004/
The good news is that the Dayton RS-28F-4 is still a reasonable replacement, it should cross well and it will be down about 1.5 DB from the original tweeter, You may love it you may want to change a resistor... to correct. Or, Scan Speak now owns Vifa, this is supposed to be the correct diaphragm...
Don't say "now you tell me" took a lot of time to find this info. Tim
