One should go and look at them, due to weight and maybe moving around the cabinets may look a little rough ... but at least one could listen to them, they should have some nice deep bass Reactions: Pogre and lp85253

View attachment 45798View attachment 45799View attachment 45800 Click to expand... So far I'm not impressed with the tweeter. I guess titanium tweeters are not my bag. Hardly any Soundstage and clarity/treble is good, but flat sounding. Center vocal imaging is good though and slightly hollowed. These well are more suited for their intentions background. For $25 they are OK. These can't replace my beloved Boston. Hells no. Diana Krall & Fiona Apple who have superb SQ recording sounded dull. The Journey continues. Maybe a better tweeter could save these as a DIY. Thoughts? I used it without a sub and with it on. Didn't make a difference. Last edited: Mar 20, 2021

Did you put your ears next to the tweeters, they may have been over-driven by the former owners ... Tweeter switching will cost about double what you spent. If there is some sound coming from the tweeters, then sell them to break even.

You are probably right they probably are stressed from previous use or it's the tweeter that is not for me. I threw back the Boston on and what a major difference. The Boston even has bass that is decent. I'll probably resell them and will be honest only great for background only.
