I performed minor surgery on my BIC America DV52CLR center channel speaker this morning. It was a brave move but I figured if I did any permanent damage it would just give me an excuse to get the larger DV62CLR-S. I have attached an image of the speaker to show you what I am talking about. If you look closely you can see a small plastic guard that I assume is there to disperse sound and protect the tweeter. I have heard mixed reviews about tweeters with coverings like this & the subsequent loss of quality in the upper and of the sound spectrum. Tweeters tend to beam sound and I would assume that a covering like this would interfere with that. Hence why I performed the removal today. I have since watched a movie with a lot of dialog to see if I noticed any changes. If anything, the only difference I noticed is a boost in volume from that front tweeter. Clarity seems to remain unchanged.
I would like to hear your opinions on covered/dispersed tweeters. Aside from making my center tweeter more vulnerable to probing fingers, do you think what I did today was a good or bad idea?
