Update on my 3pi speakers.
I was enjoying these speakers so much I decided to place an order for various xover components and new DE250 tweeters to see if I could push their performance further. That was a couple weeks ago, and although I got the speakers updated with the latest xover design and added the DE250s, things have conspired to prevent any real listening (bad cold which messed with my ears, wife decided to clean the rugs which still are not back over the hardwood floors, business travel last week and now house guests this weekend... whew!).
That said, I've been initially very impressed by the DE250 tweeters. They are noticeably smoother and more open on top, of course that could also stem from the updated xovers as well. They are pretty much the stock design with Dayton caps and Janzen 18 gauge coils, but I used Mills resistors in series with the tweeters. Also added some deadening on the horn.
More to come if I ever get to do more serious listening, but as of now my Maggies continue to pout in the corner.
