I have the three way (non coaxial) set of
the 6.5", 4" and 1".
I was just wondering if anyone else had some of these and what they think of them.
I think the tweeter is way too bright and harsh, being a metal dome and all...

Dont own a set, but have done some critical listening with 'em. I think the tweets sound damn good, CONSIDERING they're metal domes! I have to say the best sounding metal dome I've heard, other than B&W's. They may be a bit bright, but you can always pad 'em down if just overall too loud for you.

STILL waiting to hear a GOOD pair of HLCD's!!

Audiophyle, how do I "pad down" tweeters that are sounding too bright? I've had that problem, even with crossovers set to -3db, and this sounds like a great solution.

You can always use an EQ to drop some of the frequencies a little, but why don't you consider just switching to a different tweeter and keeping the mids?

Sam, Orion used to make inline 3 and 6dB pads. If you ask a reputable dealer, he should be able to get them for you. You can also check some of the online wholesalers and dealers.

Bright?? Harsh?? Where do you have these things mounted, the headliner?

You need to hear some MBs...

I own and have owned quite abit of Canton. Hands down my favorite SQ speaker set for even twice their price.
