Yes, Gordon sorry, so aside from having to modify the cabinet a bit, it
sounds like you were happy using the Madisound tweeter with the TC-50is
- this is good to know!

Spica used a specific model of tweeter used in the 50 and a different
on the 50i. The one Madisound sells isn't one of those, and the same
tweeter presumably wouldn't work well both places. Spica changed
tweeter models because production issues with the woofer used in the
50, made them move to a new model, used in what was dubbed as the 50i
(BTW - TC-50is are not marked as such, you can only tell by the square
tweeter hole, although the change took place about s/n 7500)

Now to shift gears a bit, Spica did closely match components, they
measured each cap, resistor, etc and the woofers response curves were
individually characterized (see service codes) make certain that the
left and right were matched. However, this was not true for the
tweeters. Tweeters had enough uniformity that individual matching
wasn't necessary within a given model.
