Ha ha. What's that you have stuck on there with gaffa tape ? I wouldn't do anything as Heath Robinson as that :lol:

I take it that previously you only had the front tweeter with a single series capacitor before it ? Have you wired it in series with the other tweeter? And lowered the capacitor value to account for the change in resistance ?

Have you been listening then ? What difference did you hear Peter ?

Too many questions, you might explode.

Yep cheap gaffer tape✅
The difference -??? Good question- the positive is there is no detriment to the sound- I’ll construct a better platform then decide but clarity is the first impression- the sound stage is baffling me but in a good way

Clarity and increase in resolution was the biggest thing that struck me when i did it. I never perceived anything wrong with the sound stage but then the first additional tweeter i added was up firing alongside an up firing 5 " mid bass.

I would say so although i don't know for sure as mine are all still different. I put the best one firing forward. I could happy live with the ones i have now but you know how it is, always looking for improvements ( sonically and aesthetically.)

I have considered putting a visaton G20sc front firing and moving my G25ffl to in firing as it is 2dB more efficient and should help with being nearer one speaker than the other - the in firing tweeter on the further away speaker should be more audible. I am not settled on anything as yet though so things can change.
