Revel Tweet Break-in after repairs


Hi All,

My Revel Salon speaker is going back to the factory today for repairs. Most likely only to replace the high frequency tweeter up front. I was wondering whether a new tweeter will require break-in time before I get the optimal sound reproduction from it?

I strongly believe that my speaker (left one) got damaged when I played the new Barbra Striesand Dual-Disc remaster of her Guilty disc. I played it through my modified Sony SCD-1 player (Vacuum State Level 4.5 mods). When I played this disc I thought what a crappy sounding disc. There was a warbling sound coming from the damaged speaker and it wasn't Bab's voice doing the warbling. The speaker was fine prior to that listening session.

I guess it serves me right for supporting such a bad format. The disk in question is now in the trash. Anyways, I found out I only liked one song on that disc and I already had an old copy of that song.

I really don't undersatnd why Revel wants the speaker back. Do they suspect the crossover at all? As Raquel mentioned the dealer should at least be able to do this in his shjop if not in your home. Also I would check into replaceing both tweeters each cabinet to assure they break-in together. I have always replaced drivers in pairs. See if Revel will help you in the cost of the second tweeter at dealer pricing.
