I am looking for advise as to what tweeter people would use in RTA 12C's with rebuilt crossovers.
SL 1000
SL 2000
Peerless
or RDO 194's
Have all in stock.

RDO194 without a doubt....

You should be able to jump to RDO-198 with some capacitor value change.
From 12uF to 13.5 uf and 1 ohm resistor from what I searched.
Klipsch RB81, KG3.5, B&W DM602.5, Polk.
Subwoofers: Klipsch RW10, Triad ProSub Bronze. -
The newer RDO's are better than peerless? I haven't heard them and I suppose it's objectional.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Bruce, listen to the Peerless for a while, then switch in the 194s. See which you prefer. You need to wait for the caps to burn in completely too, before you make a final decision.Home Theater/2 Channel:

From info gathered here in the board it should be the RD0-194, and then the Peerless. However, I still have my original SL1000's in. I'm usually very sensitive to harshness, etchiness in the highs and with mine I just don't hear it. The Sonicaps/Mills probably have something to do with that."Science is suppose to explain observations not dismiss them as impossible" - Norm on AA; 2.3TL's w/sonicaps/mills/jantzen inductors, Gimpod's boards, Lg Solen SDA inductors, RD-0198's, MW's dynamatted, Armaflex speaker gaskets, H-nuts, brass spikes, Cardas CCGR BP's, upgraded IC Cable, Black Hole Damping Sheet strips, interior of cabinets sealed with Loctite Power Grab, AI-1 interface with 1000VA A-L transformer

Hmm. Interesting to here everyones opinions.... and greatly appreciated. Even when I asked the people at Polk I seemed to get conflicting info. Asked what tweeter was originally in them and was told the SL2000. When I bought them there were SL 1000 in them. Polk said SL 1000 and Peerless would not fit. Well, SL1000 came out and currently I have Peerless in them. I will let them play for a couple of weeks and then swap them around to see what I think. In a lot of cases it seems to be a persons individual taste and how they "hear" things.
