Hales T5's Vifa's $ ohm or 6 ohm?

Gregm , The 25TG30-04 are too small physically for my speakers. I think they are 104mm and I need 110.4 to avoid major cabinet work. I went with the Seas Millenium as they are the correct size and I hear they are pretty good.
Dawgbyte, I upgraded my Hales T5's for the same reason you want to. I didn't want to buy new speakers and take a huge loss on the Hales. It was kind of the best of both worlds by upgrading the components. At least so far the crossover mods have been successful. I completely redid my crossovers and internal cabling of my Hales to expensive but appropriate parts with success but be careful if you mod your speakers as it is a gamble. Things could go wrong from what I'm hearing. I got lucky.

Not too loud. Just the same inbalance between tweeters as since when I first got them. Nothing blew. I am looking to upgrade to a high end tweeter with the hope to balance things out and upgrade at the same time. I'm getting the Seas Millenium but I may have to return them as they are a 6 ohm tweeter and my Vifa that came with the Hales has 4 ohm printed on it which is a good clue that it's a 4 ohm tweeter. I'm thinking maybe a high end Vifa. Maybe it will fit into the cabinet of the Hales easier than the Seas. I do not know if it's OK to exchange a 4 ohm rweeter for a 6 ohm tweeter. Any opinions?

I took the plunge an installed the Seas Millenium about 20 hours ago. It is a nice improvement as far as I can hear. I don't know how it would read on a test but it sounds awesome. I'm excited and am not putting back the origional tweeters. These tweeters are beautiful. I cannot find any fault to them sonically or physically. They look cool too. They match my midrange drivers.

Dawgbyte, The Vifa tended toards a little harsh or brilliant sounding and the Seas is more mellow and airy without loss of detail.It's quite obvious the Millenium are far superior. My speakers are more sophisticated sounding.I'm happy and excited. the tweeters were $155 each and the crossover mods were $800 but you could do nice things with your crossovers for alot less money.

I think Hales made a wonderful product as it was stock. The only thing I don't like about the Hales is that they are no longer made. As far as my modifications I was experimenting as we all do in this hobby and I've heard of success with the Millenium tweeters on the Hales so I tried it. My speakers were nice stock. They are still nice but different. Hales made a wonderful speaker and it's a shame they are no longer being made. I will hold on to mine.
Wasda150, Is there any chance at all that Hales the Componany will resubmerge?

Thanks Wadia 150, I know the hales vifa tweeters are 4 ohm tweeters but the millenium Seas tweeters which are rated at 6 ohms apparently are still a good match. I am not the only one who has dropped a pair of Seas Millenium tweeters into a pair of T5's. They work nicely. Once again there was nothing wrong with the Hales Vifa tweeters but I changed in an attempt for change.I actually for experimentation sake would love to be able to retry the origional tweeters but mine are long gone.If anyone knows where I could get a opair of Hales tweeters please let me know. I would buy a pair just to try them again.

Leemincy. I beleive you can get the voice coils for the tweeters at Madisound but not the full Hales Modified tweeters. They have not been in production for a while and Paul Hales modified his slightly so to get a Hales tweeter is not that easy. At least I beleive one would have to look for a while to find a pair. I am happy with my Seas Millenium but would love to hear the Vifa's just to compare.If I'm wrong and the tweeters are available please correct me. I'd buy a pair.
