Bozak B302A Econowaves

[CMullen]

So I found the following tweeter at Madison Sound. The price is right at $15/ea.

This Peerless tweeter has a sensitivity of 91db so it maybe a little hot for the Urban's. Also they have a ~4ohm impedance so wonder if this will cause a problem if I use only one of them with the existing Bozak crossover? Also should I put a resistor pot in to attenuate them in case the highs are too hot?

All input welcome.

Referring to the post about listening to the Bozak 302 in the driveway a startling discovery was made. The Bozaks are nearly perfect. What did I say?????? It is true. There is little to be done to Bozaks to make them sound any better except ensuring capacitors are working. IT'S THE ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Bozaks along with other fine speakers were designed and tested in very good (acoustically) rooms. The reason for the Altecs or econowaves or any horn is to push back the critical distance - The distance from the speaker to the room reflections. Why do you toe in speakers and set up close to hear all the sound? Critical distance - directly related to room acoustics. Room treatment will help more than almost any speaker modification. Also - self examination time - our hearing blasted out by loud music over time is not up to par. You might hear fine at low and high frequencies but have a big hole between 1-2KHz - very common. Don't dispare. My Bozaks sound completely different -GREAT- with - my hearing aids in! No I'm no judge of much anymore but am a trained musician and have been a symphony orchestra member for over 50 years. I can't hear all of the nuisances as well as I used to but do know what to listen for. Sorry this is so long but any trained engineer will agree that it is the room and not the speakers. Try listening to you speakers in the back yard and see what you think. Lots of luck with the audio hobby. I've been addicted for most of my 67 years and still come back for more.

I drag speakers outside every summer,just for the sound.
