Hello everyone.
I think we all know the Nautilius and the rest of B&W products that use transmission line tweeter.
I am planning to build something similar using some Monacor tweeters (DT-300) as material.

This baby has a hole in it's center, it is large, and it comes with a waveguide as an option.

Fitting a tapperd pipe in it's bottom seems easy. Getting it to sound right might take a bit more than that.



Q 1. Can I use the wave guide with the modified tweeter?
Q 2. What I have to take into account when desiging the transmission line?

Any opinion is welcomed.
