I was just getting ready to buy Dynaudio (MW 650, Md 102, and xovers) components because I've been disatisfied with the sq on my existing tweeters. I recently came to the conclusion that its not the equipment but that the tweet locations on the z are just about impossible. They are so close to the glass that just about everything will sound too bright. Ya, I've tried eq-ing the edginess out but all that does is suck the life out of the front stage.

I'm thinking of relocating the tweets down next to the mids. Has anybody done this and what were the results?? I'm currently running JL C5 (silk tweets) components which replaced RF T2 components (alum. tweets), all in the last 90 days.

I spoke to Wicked CAS to make some custom pods but they didn't seem interested (I didn't speak to Nazur, only to one of his coven.) Their lack of enthusiasm was very surprising ...

I may still buy the Dynaudio but I think just about any speaker set will sound better with tweets closer to the mids in the Z so I'll use the JL's to test my hypothesis and then upgrade to the Dynaudio.

What do y'all think?
