    Oh! I thought they all did.
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    Thanks F1nut for your info/knowledge. I have a pair of SRS3.1TL's and am currently listening to a pair of 2.3TL's with the silver style dome tweeters that are tri-laminate. I like the sound(love) of the SRS speakers but I keep frying up these(SL3000) tweeters when in a long high volume listening time. I have replaced the single tweeters on the 3.1's with the rubberized/silk style you have explained that was available and they do seem more durable at the high volume levels. I am looking for a a knowledgeable person to give me advice to make these speakers last longer as I am thinking about purchasing the bigger 2.3's and you sound like that person. What upgrades do you recommend before I replace all 6 of the 2.3's tweeters? Would that also apply to the 3.1's? Do the upgrades tlaked about in this forum make sense to you? I appreciate any advise you would recommend.

    Funny thing......I have had your quote posted on my office wall for years...

    As Schurkey stated, it's not the speakers. You are over driving your amp, AVR or whatever it is you are driving the speakers with and sending a clipped signal to the speakers. Hence, fried tweeters. So, what are you using?

    As for upgrades, which ones are you interested in doing?

    You are over driving your ears!!! :cheesygrin:
    I had an old pioneer receiver sx-1050, a brute, but after it was on for like an hour it would fry my speaker, the left one, tweeter I think.
    So it was getting hot I guess and then launching elect spikes.
