JBL Performance Series

Personally I never thought twice about the tweeter before. And now I find out they use some cheap thingy.......

as long as the sound is OK, I quess it doesn't matter if it's a good tweeter or not......

Right! No reason to think about it. Get off the gear and onto the music, men! And if the sound is okay, it IS a good tweeter. What other definition IS there? It just means that Audax can make a superb part inexpensively. Beauteous!

tha tweeter in the SVA 2100 is audax prestige TW 034 X0

The tweeter in the Tik series looks suspiciously similar to the Audax TW025A16. Anybody know if the Tiks use an Audax tweeter?

[Titanium Dome]

It's fine, it is a real tweeter, it works fine in the application, let's not border on over-obsessing here........

Who's over-obsessing now?

Horn guys can get all twisted in the pants about horns, but, hey, stop talkin' 'bout dem damn domes, Dome!

It does sound great, and I enjoy listening to it immensely. So if it's great in the PS, what else might it be great in and at a considerable savings?

For anyone thinking they should buy a more expensive tweeter to improve their Performance Series speakers... make sure the process is reversible. The likelihood is that even switching to a much more expensive unit, you will degrade the quality not improve it. They have maximized the PERFORMANCE of these things. To make a substitution would really be unwise, unless you are prepared to really do the research and spend some good solid engineering time.

That happens to be me in the avatar, so now I guess you think it's funny that I am fat.................

And I now also want the Array series..........

BTW, that horn in the avatar can kick the crap outta the PS, even with .006 watts.......it just won't fit in my rec room.

I think TD is wondering what else the PS (audax) tweeter could improve....rather than replacing it with something else....no?

Often you are the wisest man on the forum.

Like a bovine fantasy of returning to the womb.

Oh...
That POS tweeter... why would he want to do that?

That never would have occurred to me, my mistake.

Way back when I first joined this forum there was alot of talk about POS speakers. I had to ask what that meant and I was told "Paragon Off Shoots". I wondered what the Audax tweeter had to do with a Paragon until I found this picture.

[Titanium Dome]

That's the best looking Paragon I've ever seen.

It's probably the best sounding, too.

I was scrounging around my Performance Series cardboard box collection in the garage and came upon two unopened cartons with the optional corner mounting brackets for the PT800s. This got me thinking about some things.

1) Has anyone here actually used the standard wall hanging brackets included with each PT800?

2) Has anyone ever hung a PT800 in the corner of the room using the optional corner brackets?

3) In the case of #2, what are the implications for the PT800's sound, given its unusual shape, determined in part to facilitate such a corner mounting?

Any experience, scholarly guesses, or just plain BS are welcome.
