Hi Everyone,
I'm just about to bite the bullet and order the parts for my 4.0 home theater system. Since I want a small set of speakers using the RS drivers, I've decided to build the Encore speaker which you can find on the PE front page.
Right now the tweeter that is used in this design happens to be the RS28AS *Sheilded* Dayton RS tweeter. I was curious as to how much different this is acoustically from the RS28A *unshielded* tweeter. The reason I ask is twofold. First, I'm planning on adding 3 speakers to these in the future, and turning my system into 7.1. In this case, I've been told I should match the tweeters between all the HT speakers. However, most of the designs on this site use RS28A unshielded tweeters.
Ideally every speaker I build would be using the unshielded tweeter, since there seems to be more designs with this configuration. However, I'm wondering how big of a diference it would make if I 1) Used an unshielded tweeter in the mains to match with shielded tweeters in the surrounds OR 2) Used a shielded tweeter in the mains in place of the unshielded tweeter specified in the designs.
Any insights? Thanks.
