Paducah Home Theater Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Curious about the tweeters in Reference II's. None of the Reference II speakers say compression drivers, they're all tweeters. But, they used to be labeled as such. For example, RC-64, RF-7, RS-62, they all said compression drivers. RC-64ii, RF-7ii, RS-62ii, they all say tweeters. So, did they actually change? If so, why, if not, why the change in verbiage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorm Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 From a non-autophile standpoint...if I said the phrase "compression driver" to you, you may not know what I'm talking about. However when I say "tweeter"... There may have been a change though. I have never been a fan of of the II line, and it doesn't look to be getting better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhendrix Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 No change to the speakers - only the "description" on the web site. Go to the "download" tab for each speaker and open the cut sheets. The tweeter are all described as compression drivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Compression driver + horn lens = tweeter http://www.klipsch.com/rf-7-ii-floorstanding-speaker True on the surrounds, except the RF-7ii's has a 1.75" tweeter. It's like these things are named three different ways, either a compression driver + horn, or a 5" tweeter talking about the assembly, or the 1-1.75" tweeter which is talking about the compression driver. Anyway, it's all good, was just a little confusing due to inconsistencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yea my comment is a compression driver plus a horn can be a tweeter, of course it is not the only way to make a tweeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
