OW2 or RAAL tweeter.
« on: 10 Mar 2011, 02:56 am »
I have the songtower with the dome tweeters.  I was considering going for the HTL-2 when I saw Jim has some ready to deliver songtowers with the RAAL tweeters.  Is the difference between the htl-2 and songtower raal significant?

It is the same tweeter in both models.  The difference between the two models is bass extension (the HT2-TL's play deeper), power handling (the HT2-TL's can handle higher output) and midrange detail (the W18 in the HT2-TL's is more detailed due to the stiffer, lower-mass magnesium cone).

The HT2-TL's are a higher performance speaker over all.  I think most who have experience with both models will say there is a significant difference.  But it has nothing to do with the RAAL tweeter per se.  The RAAL sounds the same in either model.
