If you want a tweeter without the 'wierdness' try this. I have used them and they are clear, smooth with good balance and detail. Can cross them over at lower frequencies and sounds great with good sound stage. Looks like the...

I have completed this project. After a lot of testing I settled on changing the inductor and capacitor for the woofer since I had not originally choosen these components based on a measured resistance at the crossover frequency. ...

Well, a quick update. I decided to change my microphone to the one from my Onkyo amp used in setting up Audessey. What a difference in the SPL chart. So, 1st discovery is that I was using a really bad mic. This should make it way...

Ok, thanks. Will give that a go. I thought the manufacturer's specs looked excellent for both speakers so am very disappointed I see what I am getting. I will figure this out. Usil

I did note that I should have considered measured impedance at the crossover frequency instead of rated values. I did not do this. In addition, according to what I read from Zaph the surface mouted tweeter is probably contributing to...

What is RTA and HOLMS? Usil

No, I am using only the left speaker. The right speaker is disconnected. I am not sure what he wants but thought he wanted me to disconnect the tweeter and test the woofer then reconnect the tweeter and disconnect the woofer in the...

Do you mean each speaker without going though it's crossover or keep in the crossover and simply do one speaker then the next (disconnectiong one speaker for each test) Usil

After calibrating the Room EQ wizard, insuring that the equalizer is not used and placing the speaker in my test location on my desk here is the default spl chart from which I can work. This seems workable for correction in the...

I just realized that the testing was done with the computer software sound equalizer was not set to the flat default setting so results were colored by equalizer settings. Also, since this is a computer system, the computer fans are...
