that was the first thing i attempted to do, but the email field on their "contact us" page is blank. apparently they don't want to be bothered with pesky questions like this that no-one seems to have the answer for.

i'm quite familiar with the 3dB rules as it relates to both watts and doubling drivers as well as the difference between RMS & continuous power, but none of those rules really have anything to do with the fact that tweeters can be used in systems rated at higher powers than they're rated, again, including those 15w rated compression drivers in no way intended to be used in PA speakers laughably rated 15w.

i wouldn't be so concerned were it not for the fact that ribbon tweeters are notoriously fragile.
