One speaker louder


What could cause one speaker of a consecutive pair to sound brighter than the other? Both tweeters are working but one speaker sounds a little louder and sharper. A slight but noticeable difference.

Assuming that you have indeed confirmed that it's the speaker and not something else, that is, you've swapped them left for right and the sound follows the speaker, then there are only a couple of possibilities:

1. Damaged speaker - a failure in the crossover network could easily cause what you describe, but occasionaly a driver failure will cause it as well.

2. Manufacturing tolerances - just because they're consecutive serial numbers or a supposedly "matched pair" doesn't mean they were perfect to begin with. Speakers are made by people, and people make mistakes.

i had the same problem for a while it just takes a lot of patients. it is all about first reflection and speaker placement

I swapped them, but there is a real difference. You can still tell they are the same speaker, but one is quieter and less open.
