need more smoothness

I own B&W CDM 1NT's and have a love-hate "relationship"
with them. Excellent finich, great mid and detail but
violins sounds to sharp. Maybe I buy other speakers or hope they do well with smooth electronics such as the LINN
Classik system.
Are the B&W's with a linn classik a good match ?
Maybe I'm a little bit hi fi - neurotical.

Try some inexpensive tweaks first, like putting felt around the tweeter. You may not even need a full ring (a little goes a long way).

What are you driving them with now (tubes or solid state)? Do you play CD's or vinyl or both (vinyl is generally smoother)? Any silver wire in the system (try copper for more body)?

Enjoy,
Bob

I agree that silk's are far less hostile than metal tweeters. However, the crossover slope shouldn't make a bit of difference in the presentation of the tweeter. The crossover has everything to do with the integration of tweeter and the mid/bass driver. The tonality of the tweeter is inherent in it's design and materials and how loud it is in comparison to the loudness of that mid/bass driver (talking about relative efficiency here).

Enjoy,
Bob
