[janbb]

Hi I am interested in the crossover to adjust speaker Chario and replace tweeter vifa per Bower Wilkins

It's hard to understand what you are asking or trying to do.

what speaker(s) do you have?
what tweeters do you want to fit to them?

Personally not a big fan of B&W tweeters, they either sound confused, or over excited in my experience - but that's only in comparison to reference level products.

I think janbb wants some kind of logrithmic tweeter attenuation that alters the tweeters sound chariceristics..?? Is that some where near..?? Similar to what was available on older speakers.??

Janbb,

Arbitrarily modifying an existing speaker like that is one of the hardest things for newbie's to do. The other hard thing is "I have an old cabinet I want to get drivers for..."

Next, Vifa makes very good drivers. I wouldn't just switch them for a B&W just because of the brand.

Lastly, instead I'd suggest you look at the LM-1 speaker kit. If nothing else you can play with the crossover simulation files and learn just what it takes to make a crossover.
