SET the best?
SET roll off highs ? My SET has bandwidth -3db from 7 Hertz to 95K Hertz.   
SET the best?
I'am agreed it is not good idea to use full range speakers in parallel with tweeter. Tweeters shouldn't play anything below 10KHz. That is the reason why most of famous producers like JBL, Harbeth, Tannoy use super tweeters with 3rd order high f... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
Hi @unreceivedogma, I use Altec 604E with original and Werner Jagusch crossovers.  The horn of 604E compression driver has an issue - ringing on 7.5KHz. Mastering Labs crossover filter out this frequency. It also suppresses upper bass and lower...

My friend who a DIY speakers builder come to conclusion that compression drivers with metal diaphragms are so transparent and detailed and it shows imperfection of electronics.One example from my experience, when I just bought 300B amplifier I use...

Sounds like highlighting upper mid - lower height frequencies. 
The return of the DIYer
In 2001-2003, my friend and I traveled several times a week throughout Israel to the apartments of the audiophiles. At that time, I was looking for an amplifier instead of my Plinius 8200, the sound of which did not suit me then. Then I had Spendo... 
The return of the DIYer
Hi @mrklas ,I have a much more interesting journey that most audiophiles buying a new stuff. I always tweaking my amplifier, phonostage, crossover. I change schematics and parts. I customize everything for MY TASTE. And yes I have some background ... 
The return of the DIYer
I started my hobby around 1998. I changed components very frequently like many audiophiles. And around 2002 I finished with a system: Nottingham Spacedeck turntable, Cary 303 CD player, Plinius 8200 integrated amp and Spendor 2/3 speakers. I was ... 
Tube Power vs Solid State Power
Triodes have much less distortion and amplification element vs any type of transistors.Plus triodes have very low 3rd order harmonics vs transistors and pentodes.To get low distortion in transistor amplifier a deep global feedback should be used. ... 
Tube Power vs Solid State Power
1. IMHO height-sensitive speakers or mid- sensitive speakers in small room are must. Powerful amplifier with low sensitivity speakers is the wrong solution. Voice coil heating causes compression. More power you give  - more compression you get.2....
