Hmmm, you may have something there Jeff, while I know our upper frequency of hearing tends to decrease, it may well be possible that peaks stand out more :scratch:
You never know, but at least we got your speaker sorted :D

Rough sounding tweeters set my tinnitus off something chronic :eek:
You have my sympathy Chris :) Only ever suffered the once for a couple of days after a particularly earth shaking gig, it wasn't very pleasant :(Quote:

In fact I'm going to buy some components to mod it from this site http://www.hificollective.co.uk/. Resistors from maplin this week and demoing the proacs after that.
I used to run a Tact SDA 2175 class D with Snell and Audionote type J and had no fatigue/treble problems.
Hmm audionote are literally based up the road from me! V tempting to have a go at building one of their kits.
If you have the skills I would go for it, the type E is a loverly sounding speaker.Quote:
