rl1856 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Is this dome tweeter truly a drop in replacement ? I searched the archives and saw references, but nothing definitive. Seller advertises the dome as a replacement for the 8ohm tweeter in the AR2ax, 5 and LST. https://www.ebay.com/itm/AR-Acoustic-Research-Replacement-8-ohm-Tweeter-AR-2ax-AR5-LST-2-MT-4121-8-/162689351715?hash=item25e10a8023 Is it drop in, or are crossover modifications required ? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aadams Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 This thread has everything known about this tweeter and its use as a replacement in early ARs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I have a pair in my 10Pi. I can't hear any difference between them and the AR originals. They are working on a mid dome drop in replacement. About a year away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl1856 Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 OK then- a drop in for the AR9-10-11-12 series, but requires a coil to match an AR3a (and presumably an AR5). Has anyone measured on axis and off axis response ? Has anyone determined sensitivity ? Has anyone determined what size coil is needed for this tweeter to match the AR crossover ? Thank you.
