Fellow inmates,

As you can see in previous thread, I have recently blown the Ribbon Tweeter in my beloved Maggie MG 3.5 when I undertake the Bryston 10B adventure.

To my great surprised, I found out something that seems critical but not ware before.

It's the ribbon tweeter orientation. As I re-read the manual, it's mention specifically that when one is to replace the ribbon tweeter, the tweeter has to be oriented in a way that the serial number label is located in the bottom ends of the speaker.

It comes as a shock to me, my pair of MG 3.5 comes with ribbon tweeter of different orientation as shown by the label. One tweeter has the label on the top end, another one on the bottom end.

Is that normal? I bought the speaker used and the original owner told me that he has not messed with the ribbon tweeter before.

Is it possible that the speaker came out of factor with WRONG orientation?

How can I determine if I have indeed properly orient the ribbon tweeter?

I saw from some old post that the tweeter orientation has effect on its phase so, does that mean I have the tweeter installed out of phase now?

I look forward to some enlightenment. Thanks.
