The HTM-200 uses dual 4" woofers, these woofers don't exhibit cone-breakup until 2 full octaves above the crossover point. A lower resonant frequency tweeter is really not needed in this speaker, the many benefits of which would not be fully utilized.
However, I always listen to my customers and if you want the new tweeter in the HTM-200, I can work on it. It will, of course, force a price increase on HTM-200.
I don't agree with that statement... The new tweeter is more suited for use in the CBM-170/CMT-340. Of course I investigated using the new tweeter in the HTM-200. I did not find enough of an improvement that would justify increasing the cost. The new tweeter was designed using our current tweeter as a model...
Hope this helps!
