  • We pull another threaded ring out of the HomeBody and finally gain access to snow white and the seven tweeters, complete with their conductive power posts.

  • That's right—those gold screwposts are delivering power to the tweeters.

  • Taking a look at a port, we've got a very bad feeling about this. Or maybe it's the tweeter that's nervous.

  • The tiny folded horn at the front of the tweeter is a trick that audio design engineers use to increase a speaker's efficiency and control the direction of its sound. It's the same concept used in the gramophone.

  • Time to break out the ultrasonic cutter and pop this unit open!
