Hello, first time poster.
I finally roasted a tweeter on my pair of Pro 22 speakers.
I was thinking that since I'm getting a Minidsp with Dirac anyway maybe I could drop in the Seas tweeters then cross them over with the DSP.
At a glance the specs don't seem far off:
SEAS Excel T25CF-002 (E0011) Millennium Tweeter
Energy is 86dB efficient, 8Ohms? with a 1500Hz xover
I know the Seas tweeter is worth far more than the speakers but I'd like to use it because it's in the DeVore Orangutan's. So rather than wasting $600 I look at it as saving $7400.😉

Welcome to the forums.
What about this (much cheaper) solution: Energy 22 Pro Reference Connoisseur Replacement Tweeters (Dayton DC28F) | eBay

I didn't see that listing before, thanks. I'll definitely get an adapter plate from that seller.
I'm still curious if I can integrate the Seas driver with DSP. This stuff is new to me. Am I overlooking something that would cause a mismatch or not work?

You could integrate it. But maybe the Excel its too much of an expenditure for mating with a late 70s style polyprop woofer. The humble Dayton one they sell with those baffle adapters is a good enough choice IMHO. Also avoiding a heavy $ casualty if mistreated while developing your DSP skills with it.
Thank you Salas. If I like the tweeters they'll get better woofers and a nice box. Otherwise, ebay.
Okay, I've changed course. I'm building speakers with single Seas W22Ex001 woofers and 27TDC tweeters in birch plywood boxes. This site is a great resource I'll be sure to post pictures.
Good luck with your build. Will you be still repairing the Energy 22s with Dayton tweeters and adapters?
While you are on it, consider adding a waveguide to the tweeter as well. This (a good system design) is far more important than using expensive drivers.
