Stand alone tweeter?


Dear all,
I think my speaker’s HF sounds too harsh, I have tried all possible acoustics treatment that I can afford and repositioning it, however it still sounds harsh.

I am not good in DIYing, and the dealer said that the tweeter is ok, and for now my budget doesn’t allow me to buy new speakers.

I understand that there are stand alone super tweeter, but is there any stand alone tweeter?

What is considered best to produce smooth HF?

Thanks alot in advance for any advice

If you have grills for the speakers try placing a small coin sized, single layer, piece of soft tissue paper on the inside of the grill @ the center point of the tweeter.

Sounds dumb, but it's subtle enough to be useful.

The tissue may hold/stick with static electricity alone.

Also, if the tweeters and/or mid-bass drivers have rounded head mounting screws sticking out...

Try placing small self adhesive felt dots on the screw heads.

The small felt dots are also subtle, but can be effective as well.

I'll also mention that I do use two power conditioners in my setup and my speakers don't even have tweeters (just single wide range drivers).

Without the conditioners (one for digital source and the other for amps/preamps/TT) the mids and highs do exhibit glare with some source material (both digital and analog).

I WAS referring to TP/Kleenex, but just a single layer small/coin sized piece to start.
