Claude, yes, but in common audio vocabulary, 800 to 500Hz would be considered a midrange driver, and above would be considered a tweeter, in a three way that is
In a two ways, I'd rather say "mid/high frequencies driver" rather than "tweete" especially when it is a horn.
But, in the end, it's just words.
I run my DE10 above 6Khz myself.
Follow Ups:
I agree with your comments Mr. K. The other Mr. K (Paul W. Klipsch) when being interviewed by an Arkansas TV Station for Videotaped Broadcast, he referred to an original Klipschorn crossover as "sending one to the woofer and one to the tweeter" which was 500 Hz. at the time.
The dividing line is important for the 3 driver in a 3-way and is mostly relevant to that application in a "de facto" standard way of reference. My response was to OFFSET the less relevant comment in the thread, claiming that a "Super" tweeter had to "sing" in an UHF band that only dogs and bats would care about, not humans.
So, if you look at the Klipsch Jubilee with the Celestion Axi Driver, it's crossed at 350 Hz. to the "big tweeter horn" the Klipsch/Roy Delgado K-402
...and I just realized I made a typo: of course I meant "800 to 5000Hz"
