what would happen if I took the Lsi Tweeters and place them in the R50?

So that Lsi Tweeter are pretty cheap at partexpress. Can I get two and replace the default R50 tweeeters with those?

Would have to mod the Xover ---- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

But the Lsi Tweeters are capable of reaching the 2khz crossover point of the R50s. The impedence spike on the vifa is at 500 hz and no idea where it is on the R50 tweeter. Would that be a important factor?Receiver - Onkyo HT-R340

It is not just where it can reach, but you need to mod the Xover to match the freq. response of the vifa to the r50s... impedance probably matters less than freq. response and matching that with the rest of the components since it is a tweeter and is not using a lot of power, but I don't think this is a good idea. I hate polk's silk dome as much as anyone, but you are probably better off buying new speakers.
Polk designed the LSi to accommodate that tweeter. It takes a LOT of work on a crossover to integrate drivers. Unless the tweeter you buy has the EXACT freq. response graph that would integrate into the network, it just won't work... I mean it will, but it won't sound good. Not only that, but there is phase considerations too, since different tweeter geometry is going to need possible adjustments in the crossover regarding phase distortion.
Just a bad idea.
