Firstly, my apologies if this is a topic that has come up before. I'm still somewhat new here and haven't had the energy to go back through 23 pages of old posts. If it has been brought up before, please feel free to smack me and point to another thread...
So some background: I'm considering buying a full 5.1 set of speakers from the Song Series. Two STs, the SC and two SS1s. When I sent my first email to Jim about the purchase, he talked a little about the HT2s and the Songs, and how upgrading to the ribon tweeter in the STs would get me close to the HT2s (though not quite there of course). He mentioned that the upgrade would only have to be done in the towers.
Usage info: I enjoy listening to 2-channel music (big band, classical, rock, electronic), but my system will primarilly end up used for home theater and gaming.
So I posed a follow on question to Jim's first email (still waiting for a response)... and since I'm somewhat excited by all this at the moment and thus somewhat impatient (waiting for the production queue - after I finally place an order - may kill me) I figured I'd post it here and see what all of you have to say.
If I upgrade to the RTs (which is likely), I would end up with three different tweeters in the system: the ribbons in the towers, the OW2 in the center, and the OW1s in the rears. I know that the center does a lot of work in HT... so does that seem sensible? Given the Salk reputation, I trust Jim to get it right, but I still wonder at having three different tweeters in the mix.
I would love to hear your thoughts. Or even better: your experiences from those of you who might have something similar.
