Further to my Mission M34i thread, I've been playing. They're currently bi-wired from the A/B terminals of my Rotel RA-1062.
What this has allowed me to do is listen to the HF & LF independently. I've found that the problem of harshness that I'm experiencing seems to be down to the tweeter's inability to reproduce distorted guitar, without doing an impression of a duck with laryngitis! Playing further with some test tones, I'm very surprised to hear the tweeter doing it's best to reproduce tones as low as 500Hz. I'm not at all surprised to find a 1" speaker struggling with tones this low.
My (very limited) understanding of the crossover is that it should prevent anything below the crossover frequency (2.4KHz in this case) from reaching the tweeter. I would expect to hear near silence from the tweeter until approaching the crossover point - or have I misunderstood completely?
