[QUOTE="hexah, post: 885252, member: 333852"] The icon must be a kind of insurance. :) Lets hope it all keeps working o.k. I always remove the metal things over the tweeter because they affect the sound too much. With that type you get pliars and pull each side either straight out or at an angle, I can't remember. The worst type are the grids without screws they are best levered out with an awl. It can help to support the awl with a cork underneath like a seesaw to stop it sliding down and stabbing the tweeter. It looks like there is a metal thing stuck on the tweeter. That will make some high sounds very metallic. All the studio monitors for musicians and professional use have only soft tweeters to avoid that kind of coloration. Even more important is isolation. You need to at least put the speakers on three blobs of white tack (2 front 1 back centre) to stop the sound energy going into the wood its resting on. Wood is very good at absorbing sound waves. Try it with one speaker then listen to the difference. It really is a big difference whether speech or music, listen to Radio 4 then Radio 1 then Radio 3 or classic FM. Ideally you should use feet and white tack, the professional monitors usually come with isolating feet already stuck on. [/QUOTE]
