30 watts won't blow out the woofer part, but remember it's high frequency hash from clipped low-powered amps that blows tweeters.Originally Posted by dpapazoni

Okay, so either statement is somewhat valid, depending on your "interpretation"; you could claim "it has response to around 17 KHz", as per the literature, or you can claim (as I did), "it went out to around 6 or 7 KHz, and fell like a rock from there".Originally Posted by speakerdave
David is right - keep the tweeter levels way down low.Originally Posted by speakerdave
I agree entirely.Originally Posted by Harvey Gerst

Yes, Harvey I understand that, It doen't give any (+ or - db) for that frequency range. I always thought JBL was rigid and the (+ and - db) was understood. This publication was before they gave the understood rigidness in specs.( I think that is what I mean). Frequency volume falls like a rock when you get to 6 or 7k.

Yes, I will have to do that with my Tone controls on my amp, there is no attenuator. I only use a small touch of tweeter action in the tone, that I seek.

David
No, maybe I should not try the LE12C-1s. It is very scarey
Depends on the size of the room and what you are trying to do. I'm outside of my area of experience here, but I think a back-up is a good idea.Originally Posted by dpapazoni

How many guitar amps use cone/dome tweets?
Don't do it, I'd say....
Sounds like the D120F's you have are a candidate for a magnet recharge....also, are the aluminum domes in place or have they been replaced with paper domes?....the aluminum dome with a fully charged magnet is where that "chime" tone character comes from.
If the speaker has been dropped or jolted around or constantly subjected to high temps, been near lightning storms....lots can happen in 50 years if you don't know where they've been.
Oh....and don't bother with the LE12C....you'll just hurt it.
