New to Forum. Just Acquired SDA2B Speakers
Comments
-
Now that I have been using these speakers for about two weeks now, I am wondering from the group, how much of a difference will the RDO-194 tweeters make with voice on these speakers? As much as I like the mid to low bass on these speakers, the mids and highs aren't quite a match to my Magnepans nor Mirage speakers. Both of those speakers have more life-like mids and highs. Vocals seem to be more true with the Magnepans and Mirages that I have. I am hoping that with a tweeter replacement, the SDA 2Bs that I have will match the Magnepan and Mirage for mid to high clarity and realism. Thoughts?

+1...but i have had noticible results with 194s, Sonicaps for highs and Solens for lows. Make sure your seals are good, spike em and enjoy!

I may just try either the RDO-194 or RDO-198 tweeter replacement and hope that would be enough to bring out more clarity and realism to the mids and highs to these speakers without having to go the full modification route.

You cannot use the RD0198-1 without a crossover mod.
In all seriousness, anything less than replacing the tweeters with the RD0198-1, upgrading the crossovers, adding spikes, applying Dynamat to the baskets and installing Hurricane nuts means you'll never get what those speakers are capable of.Political Correctness'.........defined

I'll probably do the RDO-198 tweeter with crossover mod. I understand everything but the use of the Hurricane nuts. What is that used for to increase the performance of these speakers?

Better quality seal between the driver and baffle.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

It goes beyond the seal factor. By coupling the drivers to the baffle much better than the stock screws can results in reduced vibrations and in turn, reduced distortion.Political Correctness'.........defined

Thanks everyone. Now I got it. Similar to the use of Mye Stands with my Magnepans to reduce vibrations in the panel to reduce distortion. Will look into this modification as well.
