    NO, they don't unless you overdrive or distort them.

    Hi everyone. New to the forum since picking up a pair of SDA-2B Studios ...that I love. The previous owner upgraded the tweeters to SL-3000s. Does the crossover need to be modified to use them?

    To be used correctly yes there would need to be some cap work done.

    You'll have to do the TL mod. A search should bring up all the info you need.

    Wow, two faces from the past, Noah and ND13... this place sure has changed :(

    Oh and welcome back Jesse, glad we can see you posting again.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Are the SDA2b-studios the same as SDA2b's ? Wouldnt he be better off to put RD0194"s in them ? I understand its time to refresh the crossovers as they are beyond there time. shouldnt there be SL2000's in them ? Just wondering here

    So it is the same crossover. They do take sl2000 tweeters. The drop in replacement is the RD0194 tweeters.... To use the sl3000 tweeters you would need to modify the crossovers & then you could use the RD0198 tweeters. Have i got that correct

    To use the RD0198 you would need to parallel a 5.8uF cap with the first 2.7ohm resistor and remove the second 2.7ohm resistor. However, I can't say how the TL mod would play with the 6510 mid-drivers in the 2A's.

    The 2B Studio and 2B are exactly the same with the exception of the cabinets.

    The SL3000 tweeter upgrade is the RD0198 . here is my quick review. I changed one out in the 15tl & turned the Adcom on & BIG :) then i shut er down & put the other one in quickly. What a noticable difference
