I have a couple of questions for you diyers out there?? I am looking

at useing the b.g. neo 8's or the neo 3's planner tweeters. Has

anyone used any of theses tweeters?? Are they a close sound to

the maggie planners or no? Second question. I was also looking into

true ribbon tweeters like the raven's. Has anyone use them or heard

them? I hear they are very hard to get to sound right. That's what

parts experss told me and that is why they do not sell them any more.

How do they sound to a planner tweeter. Also why do a lot of diyer's

mod. them after they buy them? If they are not right when you buy

them why buy them you know? I am also looking at kits for both

types of tweeters. What is the best type of speaker driver to use

with theses tweeters. It has to be clean fast and natural. If you

can give some insights of tell me about your past kit's you did or

hi-fi sytems and tweeking that would be great. P.s. I got rid of my

mg 12's because the lower planner woofer keep making a buzzing

noise everytime the bass hit or a rattleing noise. The company said

that was not normal but, I think that is just the way they are.

The treble and bass were at 0 and no loudness button was on.

thanks jm

djm,

I did a pair of ribbons with not to much trouble. I think they are fast and detailed like any other ribbon I have heard. If you DIY your own then the radiating area can be made rather large. The one I made is 7" x .37 ". My plan is to make a 1 meter pair, semi open baffle.
