@dekay I'm not sure exactly what you mean. If you can and wouldnt mind can you send me a pic?

@bache thanks for your input and experience regarding the whizzer situation. 

I get that I might be screwing the pooch here if I move forward with this. Why can't I leave well enough alone. I'm getting pretty great sound as it is. Curiosity killed the cat, or does fortune favor the bold, to be continued. . .  : )

Thanks @dekay and @trelja 

Ill give Horning a jingle next week sometime. 

@timlub thank you for your post. I’m curious and encouraged. First, why do you say a ribbon would not be happy crossed at 3k? What do you mean by 6db per octave. Sorry, my technical skills are matched by no one.

@ the above 2 posters. Let’s see the driver is a HempTone not a particularly exotic single driver or anything. At just about 3k according to the response graph things begin to start to get pretty squirrelly. I feel like there is a pretty seamless blend between the Fountek’s NeoX 2.0 but I’m no expert. The frequency response kicks in @ 1.2khz for the Fountek. Both speakers share same eff. I didn’t want to try anything there as I didn’t want to hear the tweet seperate from main driver but still utilize its goodness. I don’t know, Anyway I thought I start there and change value if it bugged me but shoot my hearing starts to drop off anyway much past 7k and it sounds pretty good. Thanks for your advice. 

@bache I will look into this, RTA, appreciate it. I guess it's  time to start getting serious about this, by that I mean seriously funner. I hope. Thanks bud. 

@timlub this is great information!  I just picked up a laptop and I'm going to get into this business soon. Much obliged.  Btw, I have since removed the whizzer and honestly I can't tell a bit of difference.  What I can say is that some speaker position refinement, by ear still, is making a dramatic difference(at least to me).  I thought I had it pegged but . . no.  The difference is the channel balance, reverb on the recording and a gestalt overall.  I have for a long time cheated the room with dual vol. control, and since picking up the Decware Torii, I have had to reckon with it.  Such a frustrating pain in the ass, but the difference between something not quite right but very listenable and oh there it is, is really what all the fussin is about

I found that removing the whizzer had zero effect. Already employed the super tweeter when I did it. Adding the s tweeter added some more air and detail but it wasn’t a night and day difference. The driver in these was not what Decware uses now or then and was a custom choice. But, I am happy with them. I’m sure one day I’ll change them. But for now they are great. Looking forward to how a deviation from Grado is going change the system sound at this point.
