[QUOTE="CTGT2005, post: 7676377, member: 573747"] The Diamonds were so incredibly bright on the sound board, even when attenuated. I had to add an additional 5.6ohm series resistor to the tweeter just to smooth it out. The Diamonds sounded clearer and more detailed than the Alpines, which by comparison sounded rather muddy and muffled. Ultimately the greater flexibility of tweeter adjustment lead me to pick the Alpines over the Diamonds. Perhaps I am regetting my decision now. Part of me wants to blame something else in the signal path, other than the speakers, like a crappy DAC on the headunit, or something audible from the amplifier, but that shouldnt be the case.
