I am basically a high end audio guy that strayed into tubes, SET amps, single drivers, etc a few years ago. I still miss the "air" you hear with a high quality amp driving a true high end speaker with a well designed crossover and expensive drivers, a sound which is sadly missing in most single driver speakers driven by set amps. I had a pair of Radio Shack horn loaded dome tweeters, so I installed them with reversed phase in the back of my Fostex Voigt pipes. The objective was to add that high frequency information that's lacking with the Fostex drivers. The speakers sound very nice with the addition, and I plan to install a switch so I can silence them whenever I want. Picture at

Has anyone else done this with single driver speakers? What were your impressions?
