Yes, the tweeter has a High-Pass filter, but no crossover. We all respond differently to different stimuli and I have traded in all my expensive and exotic equipment for simplicity and purity. When my friends listen they might not be "blown away" like they were with my exotic components, but I find I am drawn to listening now like I never was before. OP asked for opinions. As my listening ability has advanced my tastes have changed... simple circuits and simple transducers do it for me now.
