Agree with Elizabeth. Don't mess with it, it's a big mistake.
SF Grand Piano Home tweeter upgrade
Just wondering if anyone has upgraded the tweeter to something like the Vifa Dual Ring X25 variant? With the 2.5 way design and Xover at 3K..seems like it may be a decent replacement, and cheap enought to try a t~$35 ea...I am wondering about fitment/model tweeter or if an L pad was needed or any other tweeter as a better upgrade..any thoughts appreciated.

If you don't mind losing $70 or whatever difference you can't make up, then by all means give it a shot. Just don't drill new holes or make any irreversible changes otherwise as the new tweets will make your speakers virtually impossible to resell. Is this a common mod or have you heard/read of it being done by others? In general I think Elizabeth is right. The manufacturer puts forth a lot of effort to match drivers to the cabinet and crossover design and tweak and tune. This is why I shy away from trying DIY when it comes to speakers. |
Hi Kehut, You can certainly drop another tweeter in, but I would assume that a quality manufacturer like Sonus Faber would put a tweeter pad for the perfect blend as well as impedance and resonance compensation in their crossover network for the tweeter being used. It is highly unlikely that any compensation network would work well with any other model of tweeter, even from the same manufacturer. It won't damage anything to try... Good Luck, Tim |
You're correct Kehut, AG is not really a DIY site. Perhaps you would be better served asking this question on one of those sites. Pehaps somewhere like here. |
