| New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix? I’ve found that the stuff the tweeter is made of is less important than how it’s implemented by the designer…soft domes can sound harsh, metal domes smooth, etc. Totally agree with Wolf. Your Polk floorstanders have soft dome tweeters but may not ... | |
