Hello All!
I have a set of RTi8's and a CSi A6 center that I am curious about modding.
Great shape. Nothing done to them as of yet.
Caps and resistors-
Film resistors and Nedlab 400v caps be a good choice?
As for the tweeter part of this, is there a recommendation for replacements? One of mine is damaged so I figured I would replace them all at the same time and if there was a specific one recommended by the community I would give it a whirl. Yes, I know.... I might not need to upgrade/change them all. But I figured if I am going to do this. I might as well just do it all.

Non-inductive audio grade resistors such as Vishay-Mills. For caps Sonicap Gen I, Clarity CSA or Janzten Superior-Z are good choices.
As far as I know there are no suitable replacement tweeters other than the originals.Political Correctness'.........defined

Ahhh, thank you! I was going to go down the wrong path!
I'm still learning.
A lot to learn.

Welcome to the forum! What is this system used for and what are the other components? TBH many of us would suggest putting the money you would use for the crossovers along with whatever you can get for the speakers and upgrading. Many of us find that series too bright:
