Sweet but am 60, too many too loud Strats and subscribe to the principle of inaudible highs have real psych effect. Dig those heil ribbons.

You would need to compare the specs of the dome being replaced with the Heil ribbon that you plan to use. I'm not personally familiar with what dome they used in the RT16, and what crossover tweaks were made to work with it. It rarely is a direct swap in modern speakers for different types of drivers since they make most of the changes needed within the crossover and don't put user friendly L-pads on the outside for users to adjust anymore. The Heil would have to match pretty closely in specs to work as a drop in replacement for the dome that Polk made.

Looking for specs on RT16 drivers, crossover points and any info that might help eval matching criteria.
Also considering using the small Heil tweets in KLH 6 or Large advent.
Seeking homebrew pair with widest freq resp amalgam/hybrid/bastardization out of what I have.
