So it's time to take everything apart and build new again. New cables and such are in the mix. One day I will have a peace of mind with refinement but not yet.

Any way. I know there are differences in Freq range with the top and bottom tweets on the SDA1C. Which Tweet should I be aligning to for the center channel for the best image match?

I am about to build a center stand and would like to get the height right.


Thanks ,1C
Too much **** to list....

    good question, I have the same speakers and will be using a Monitor 10 with an RDO 194 in it as a center (not that I think it is the best use for M10's but I have no other use for it now). So I would be interested in the answer to this as well.

    According to the schematics the top tweet would be the one with the full response while the lower has the low pass filter limiting the high end response of that tweet as well as other crossover circuitry slightly lowering the output level of the lower tweet compared to the upper.

    For what you are trying to do i would match with the upper tweet, since your center channel tweet will be run with it's full response on the high end.
    If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of Progress?!

    Top Tweeter for sure. Lower tweet is rolled off.

    Want to go crazy, align the middle of the two.
