It isn't in my system, and I know the shl5 for quite a few years now on different systems. For my taste, clarity, especially in the top end, is not one of the shl5's virtues. Btw, i uswd to own the spendor sp 1/2. It was quite similar in most rega...

It's not just the basic tweeter (seas 27tbc). I know the shl5 quite well (a friend of mine owns a pair). I have many issues with its design (the thin cabinets, the dispersion of 2 tweeters and more), which makes it what it is- a fun speaker overal...

Thank you both for your decisive opinion, but my experience (which included working closely with a speakers & drivers manufacturers) suggests otherwise. The cabinet is very important and by no means am I looking for speakers with inferior cabi...
