Well ........

As long as you have the attenuators, you should be good to go.

I built several different Betsy baffles using various tweeters and the success often depended on the recording and which amplifier was being used. Sometimes, there was too much top end .....

The attenuators should make it a winner .....

Happy listening,
Randy

brian

i wanted them back a bit from the betsy drivers, and i usually toe them in... so if i put them off center and on the inside (when i toe them in) the tweeters would be back a few inches from the drivers. not sure if this is right thought (but somehow i convinced myself it was). they sound pretty awesome, must have gotten something right! ive been listening to them every night for over a week (and i have other systems to choose from).

cheers
