Is that the original Seas tweeter in the cabinet, and is that a felt ring around it? If so, did the ring make an improvement? It looks like a good cheap mod.
I actually like the original A-25 tweeter. I know a lot of guys upgrade it to a modern tweet, but I don't find my A-25's lacking detail or air. I think the old Seas tweet is one of the best tweeters I have personally owned. It blows away the popular Peerless tweeter used in Polk speakers. To my ears anyway.
Yes, that's the original SEAS, and a felt ring, but I used the felt temporarily as I played with the supertweeter crossover. For music I like it better without the felt, but I think that would be a system dependent thing.
I love the SEAS tweeter, that's why I didn't replace it. Even though it is popular to replace it with a modern tweeter (and in fact with a resonance of 900 hz I could have done it with the Vifa tweeters pictured), I think that the seamless transition from woofer to tweeter is one of the A25's strengths and I didn't want to mess with that. I am very pleased, though, with what the Vifa brings to the table :yes:
