Soliloquy and bad crossovers

I recently found out (through Audioasylum.com) that Soliloquy installed a bad bacth of crossovers in their speakers some years ago and I was wondering: 1) if anybody else heard the same thing, 2) if so, what year(s) did these duds get released, and 3) did the bad crossovers have something to do with low and high frequency of the crossover????

Also, when connecting for biwiring does the low freq. cable connect to the upper or lower binding posts. The posts are not marked and the tweeter is situated beneath the bass drivers. Unfortunately, I do not have a manual.

1) Yes.
2) Around 3-4 years ago.
3) High frequency.

Sounded like there was no output from the tweeter; very dull and lifeless sound. I would contact Soliloquy and ask them what to do. They were responsive to my inquiries about the sound of the speakers.

I had contacted David Berman regarding bad cross overs with the following reponse: "We had no run of bad crossovers being installed in Soliloquy products. We did have an issue in 1999 with the 6.3 crossover not performing as well as we like, but that was taken care of in 2000 with a capacitor replacement."

Not sure that it translates into dull life-less high frequency response, but apparently not an issue except for the 6.3s.
