Maybe your hearing is at fault ?

Just a thought..

Syl

Thanks Syl but I feel my hearing is quite good. I will however get the wife to listen to them. Even after many years of my head being under and over operating jet engines they work quite well.

Hold on ---my wife is yelling something I did not hear her--gotta go Icon_biggrin

Dave

Glad you got the humour.

Dunno about those tweeters. It could be numbers of things. Too stiff and they become unefficient ? Weak magnets ?

BTW, not hearing your wife yelling _may_ be a blessing sometimes...
