RTA 11TL question

There's no right or wrong tweeter. It's all a matter of personal taste.
The analogy that newer must be better is not always true. If it were, we would all be listening to lsi's instead of the vintage polks. -

Show us a link to something that says putting caps in series right at the tweeter when they already HAVE crossovers. All you are doing is changing the crossover point and wreaking havoc on the values of the stock crossover. There is no scientific method to what you're doing. I called a few buddies in the last few days asking about this and they first reaction was, "they added what where???" Two of these "buddies" are from PSB and Sunfire.
For the sake of credibility, show us ALL where it says you can simply add a cap inline at the tweeter and what those results are supposed to yield.Richard? Who's your favorite Little Rascal? Alfalfa? Or is it........................Spanky?.................................Sinner. -

Here you go.I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D -
Here's a pic of the RD0-194's in the SDA 1C's I had.

Wow, that's quite a stretch going from a tweeter to an entirely different speaker. Got to be one of the worst analogies I've read.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Scrap oak, power tools, black spray paint and clear poly. Quite simple actually.
I did not like the way the original bases looked. YMMV.I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D -

I did not make the initial recommendation and can't find the post but I tried it and it works. I'm glad that you are researching the science behind it because that needs to be done also. I've done the testing and experienced the end result. I don't have a problem with spending $3 to see if something works. That's a no brainer.
You work with electronics so it's important for you to understand the why and how. All I care about is the end result. -

If it's ok, can you take a closer pic so I will have an idea how you mounted them? Also, different angles of pictures please
Thanks again. -

From what I understand you bought RD0 and you were not happy with it. If it's still with you, can I purchase the pair like $70. Please pm me. -
I just sold them locally for $60 but told them they could bring them back if they don't like them. I kind of like having a pair around to do side by side comparisons with but the guy wanted to try them out so I sold them rather than having them lay around collecting dust.

I Just ordered 8 tweeters upgrade from polk for my 1.2'S Eric told me it was the upgrade for the SL2000 he said they are much better than the old SL2000. Well I like my highs or bright sounding speakers with Real good bass. But I must say the The E-mit tweeter probably would blow them(sl2000,sl3000) out of the water but the E-mit isn't a Polk speaker(tweeter)PolkAudioClyde -
I'm going to get in trouble now........ hope not. PolkAudioClyde
