Paradigm replacement tweeters? (1 Viewer)

[bruin]

Hi,

I need info on where to buy paradigm replacement tweeters or really good tweeters. I really don't know much about them except mine for the 9se model are messed up!

Any recommendations are much welcomed. Do I just take the old one out and put the new one in? Any details to look for when searching?

I don't think you can buy Paradigm drivers on there own. Best bet is to talk to your local Paradigm Dealer about replacement drivers.

You can get them from you Local Paradigm dealer. I would consider upgrading to the PAL tweeter from the Studio series.

Too late! I just installed these Vifa XT series tweeters like the ones in the Polk LSI models. These Vifa's are great!

Looks like the one in the Rocket.

I am kind of shocked. Can you actually just replace a tweeter with a different brand like that? Physically speaking, are tweeters "one size fits all" or something? Wouldn't that throw off the speakers "signature sound"? If this really is common practice, I wouldn't mind trying this out to see what kind of a difference it would make with my speakers.

I don't know much about crossover settings and such but if it sounds good...it's good right? Well I just compared the specs for a replacement 1" tweeter with the Vifa XT and they seem to have similar dimensions but the Vifa has a wider range in its frequency capabilities.

I was wondering why the Vifa replacement for the Paradigm 9se was just $25 a pop while the XT was $60! The price difference is minimal compared to how much more Polk Lsi's and Rockets cost.

But in the end, I love the sound!
