I've been the proud owner of a set of 2Pi towers for about four years now. I noticed that the design now calls for a Vifa soft dome tweeter instead of the Piezo. A few questions:

1) Can I buy an upgrade kit?
2) What is required to make the change? A x-over of some sort, obviously tweeters...
3) Why was the design change made?
4) Is it really an upgrade?

I'm going to be re-painting the speakers anyway (they got beat up from a lot of moving), so I figured I'd contemplate an upgrade. I'll post pictures once I'm done.

Thanks,
Eric Larson

The Vifa tweeter is a HUGE improvement. I was really happy with the upgrade and Wayne's service is outstanding. Most highly recommended.

There is a Vifa upgrade kit available for $30.00. The tweeter was changed since CTS stopped production of the earlier tweeter. The original tweeter was a great part for the price, but the new tweeter is better. It costs a little more though too.

The Vifa is not so bright and the integration between the drivers is better. Much more pleasant to listen to. Hope this description helps.
