So after a lot of listening, the 2” paper cone tweeter is a near dead ringer for the original AR-4x tweeter, sonically. It’s very close in sound. It’s not as efficient as the original, requiring turning up its output using the pot. One would have to get creative to add a face plate.

Like the original AR tweeter, the 2” paper cone tweeter suffers a bit in dispersion. Both also suffer from lack of “air” in their presentation. 
 

The modified PRT has a lot more “air” and more “finesse” in its presentation. It adds a presentation very close to my 2ax; more effortless, smooth, natural, and not “in your face” with all genres of music, as the 4x tends to be.
