Click to expand... There are still a number of tweeters that are like that. Look at the tweeter in the AA / BR-1 And my GR "Fisheye" tweeters that have a dome that looks pretty similar to those, but with an interesting waveguide. Reactions: Klipschhead302

I wasn't counting my BR-1 tweets cuz there were only six screws (and I guess I never tried to unscrew the inner set when I assembled the speakers). Then I realized I had a set of Tymphany tweets with 8 screws waiting on a build, LOL. @Klipschhead302 oy vey I did lose it Reactions: Klipschhead302

Speaker design wasn't exactly that advanced through much of the 70s either though. I took EVERYTHING apart as a kid. I wanted to know how it worked; getting it back together was a different story. Click to expand... Me too. I still have it in me, hence this thread. Although I only do it if I'm sure I could put it back together now. I destroyed many a toy as a child trying to put things back together correctly. when I was about 7 I took my little red tape player apart and made other toys out of the motor with popsicle sticks, etc. Messed up a few things, but learned a little too.

Pogre Audioholic Slumlord Jul 29, 2016 16,146 0 113 56 Mesa, Arizona May 17, 2017 #45 Man, you guys have me listening to my tweeter now by comparing it to the others. I detect no difference. All the parts were marked either with a red dot for pos, different sized connectors, or both. I'm 99.999999% sure it hasn't changed at all. You guys are playing on me with the remaining .000001!

She's seen me do stuff like this a hundred times so she didn't have an aneurysm, but I think she held her breath whIle i put it back together... Click to expand... You answered what I was going to ask and that was going to be, did or was your wife aware of your curiosity? only because I can recall the journey you took to obtain the Ultras...Hey Pogre, BTW, your wife knows how to get your attention if you upset her...just take your tools and lock up your audio gear...I definitely appreciated you sharing that illustration with us, anything other than speaker I'll do...
