In response to the new tweeter questions over in the Home Theatre section I thought I would switch it to the What’s New category. The tweeter change is happening across the entire line. I have put a picture below of the standard round faceplate version. The new tweeter has a die cast aluminum face plate for better rigidity and cooling, a larger rear chamber to lower the resonance frequency further below the crossover region, and a new horn design that Andrew developed to be smoother off-axis above 12 kHz. I noticed some were not sure about the new look but it could be more of a QS4 thing. The consensus around the factory was that it is much nicer looking.

There is no crossover change required. Ooh, nice. Maybe I'll order some and swap mine out.

Hi Ian, did you make some for the VP160 because they are not round.
