    Polk Audio RTi10 Speakers - Updated tweeters or midranges?

    Does anyone have insight on any compatible updated speaker components that would reproduce the "highs" & "mid-range" fidelity on these speakers? Improve crispness? Thanks!

    AR Tweeter Diaphragm Replacements (AR12s)

    Was just messing with an RCA cable on my receiver, and sent a lethal signal to a pair of vintage AR12s. Blew both tweeters…ugh… Does anyone know if the diaphragms can be replaced on these, and if so a known source? Mid 70s tweeters from the Teledyne lineage. 8 ohm tweeters as I am reading...

    Possibly good new tweeter?

    I e-mailed Kenneth Fritz awhile back about tweeter suggestions and he told me that Planar tweeters are the best of the bunch. I have been wondering if I should buy some, and then these came to my attention: Foster E100T10...

    Beginner ferrofluid question.

    Alright so I got some PSB image 4t towers used and noticed right off the bat that they sounded terrible contrary to all the fantastic reviews. I ended up tracing the issue to the tweeters. Seeing that stock replacements aren't available and if they are are far more than I want to pay I was...

    Dahlquist DQ-10 tweeter replacement

    One of the tweeters in my Dahlquist DQ-10s is blown. (Came back from a work trip a few years back to find a tweeter fuse blown and my Minor Threat CD sitting out on a table...) Took it apart to check and the film was physically torn. I "repaired" it by spreading a thin film of polyacrylate...

    Monitor audio Isophon kk8 modifications

    Hi, I’m trying to establish what Monitor Audio doped these domes with. It appears to be a yellow-brown liquid, I guess most probably a type of glue, any ideas? I’ve always liked these tweeters but certain frequencies do ring a little, to my ear anyway, so I can understand why MA decided to...

    Infinity 2500 tweeters lack sound, woofers work?

    Hello. Years ago I acquired a pair of used Infinity 2500 speakers from a thrift store. These were the second Infinity speakers I've owned. I used them for a year and then they went in and out of rotation with other speakers. They worked good last time I used them. However the other day I hooked...

    Identify these tweeters? Used in Baby Advent II

    Many moons ago, I blew the tweeters in some Baby Advent II speakers. Took em to a local speaker repair shop and they recommend putting these tweeters in. No branding on them. Made in France. "DW6 x 11 M" stamped on the back. In hindsight, that speaker place did a very poor job as these are...

    What does it take to build 3 way speakers?

    To begin this it's not audiophile grade but I wanted to know if I used two 12" or 15" car subwoofers per box and used some good sounding mid range speakers and tweeters with maybe similar sensitivity and used 2 midrange speakers and 2 tweeters per box i'm not sure I just want to copycat the...

    Tweeters for AVID Model 230...

    So I've had a couple pairs of AVIDs for a while that were given to me by a friend. A set of 102s and a set of 230s. When I got them, I hooked them up and was... underwhelmed. I put them aside until I could do a recap. I just got around to recapping the 230's, and it did clean up the sound a good...

    ESS Nines sounding much better..

    I finally received 2 new tweeters for my Nines and I must say that having two proper matching paper cone tweeters make a huge difference. These speakers came with paper cone Peerless tweeters and that is exactly what they should always have in them. Smashing Pumpkins-Gish album sounds cleaner...

    W40D questions

    I spent the afternoon recapping and cleaning pots on a pair of W40D's I found at an estate sale a few weeks ago. I was hoping that this would bring one of the tweeters back to life. Alas, it was not to be. Tomorrow I will check it with a meter to see if it truly is dead. It's the purple dome...
