(22RH480)

i want to change 02 tweeter (5HH17SD-16Ohm = broken).
people help me to choose tweeter: AD0161, AD0162, AD163 or leak tweeter??

the shop near me have AD0162 T8 philips and leak 15 Ohm

So:
1, AD0161, AD0162 and AD0163: Which's better?, i should select AD0162 or find AD0161, AD0163?
2, tweeter philips and tweeter leak: Which's better? i should select AD0162 or leak 15 Ohm?

hi sjp,

The AD* tweeters you are reffering to are philips dome drivers from the late seventies / begin eighties, the 61 and 62 have mylar (yellow) domes and, when compared to more modern - danisch - tweeters, produce a relatively raw top end without much finesse. The 0163 employs a fabric dome and tends to sound slightly better, softer and more detailed. Make sure to adjust the series capacitor when swapping the old 16ohm tweeter for a 8 ohm model, these tweeters don't like anything under 3500 hz.

Thanks. So, if i dont want to change the capacitor, leak(15ohm) is best choose? is the sound of leak softer and detailed?
thanks

Watch out for the crossover. the cone tweeter might have worked well with a 6 dB filter (just a capacitor) the Philips domes need a 12 dB filter to work well.

What do you think if I change it by “Sansui T-104 Horn"
link: Sansui T 104 Horn Tweeter Driver 14 Ohms 20 Watts SP 3500 SP Series | eBay

+ Same horn
+ Same made in japan
+ Same 20W
+ Same side

+ But one 16 Ohm, one 14 Ohm. If I choose 14 Ohm and don’t want to change the capacitor, the sound is bad????? I fear that. Some one say no problem, are you sure?
+ Sophistication: Sansui T-104 better than National 5HH17SD or else??
Who say me the true ... help me, plzzzzzzzzzzz

Hi sjp,

Swapping a 16ohm tweeter with a 14 ohm model while preserving the original filter values will slightly up the crossover freq. From a power perspective you're safe, the new tweeter will dissipate a fraction less power. From a listeners perspective the increased crossover frequency could cause a small dip but chances are you won't even notice.

I would advice against using dometweeters and definitly go for the sansui horn as both being horns will make them a better match sensitivity wise.
