Tweeters are a real mistery. Some should sound great and they dont, and some never will.
I think you do need a lot of dynamics even at 10khz in order to get those sparkling highs that really jump out like the real cymbals and other crashing metals!
Of course it is not only the tweeters, cable and xover have a lot of detrimental effects on highs...
Highs is one of the first things that go bad when power is not good. It is one of the first things that let me know I am geting close to the time alingment sweet point...
They should be sparkling but not over bearing: When you dont have enough dynamics on the tweeters, then they become ever present if you want sparkle... and that is one of the worst things you can have in audio: A tiring hisss always coming out of the speakers.
On the contrary low volume and plain bad tweeters and you get those "spray can" highs, the other end of one note bass.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
