Should I upgrade components?

Hey Squeak, what about tweeters are they also supposed to be off-axis. I have a pair of CDT titaniums that are supposed to be detailed but not harsh. I find with some recordings, the cymbals and tail end of vocals (ssss) are a bit too bright for me. I have the crossovers attenuated at -3 db, with the tweets aimed directly at me, knee level. Is this something to live with because of the metals or can this be fixed?

Have you tried playing with the phasing?? Go ahead and try turning them off-axis as well, should take some of the brightness out. But it may just be something you need to EQ to your liking.

I totaly agree. I think EQ's can help alot in some systems.
