Replacing 2000 tweeters

The RD0-194 was designed to have the same FR so no changes to the crossover would be necessary, otherwise I wouldn't consider them largely the same transducer. I can dig through my SDA Compendium tomorrow for the exact differences.
Most definitely. You can see that Z must be identical, for example, in the crossover region since the SPL curves overlap perfectly. -
Sure. There is a clear and definite role for subjective impressions (listening). A typical situation is deciding how much to pad the tweeter when designing a loudspeaker. A good designer won't finalize a crossover without voicing the system. But often you can immediately tell if a speaker is garbage. The speaker whose SPL is shown below is one example; you know without listening that its bad.Sound quality is more than test numbers. It is the actual sound you hear from the speaker.
Numbers are good and can give you a ballpark to play in but you need to really hear the two side by side.
With enough experience you can often tell what sort of subjective impression a speaker will give just by looking at the SPL. -
But accurate measurements of loudspeakers will have a stronger correlation to what you actually hear than say with amplifiers or CD players etc.Sound quality is more than test numbers. It is the actual sound you hear from the speaker.
Numbers are good and can give you a ballpark to play in but you need to really hear the two side by side. Worlds apart IMHO.
