Dunlavy SC IV A harsh high frequency


I have owned my SC IVA for many years. I replace the blown tweeters at least once a year. I know the original set were carefully matched at the factory but I can not duplicate the tecniques which John used in his shop to optimize response. The speakers sound glassy and I wonder if this is as a result of tweeters I have installed but would have been rejected by John. I have done a lot of work with room treatment,changing source, components, etc...
Are there any recommendations for fixing this issue?
Replace the Vifa tweeters with more expensive ones?
Thanks

You may want to think about having your crossovers rebuilt.
Your Dunlavy's may be 15 years old. Capacitors generally have a ten year life cycle.
So depending on use, they may need replacing.
BTW, the SC IVA is on my "Top 5" favorite speakers list!
