"It’s like Bobby fed them steroids…bigger, wider, louder, deeper, sweeter, fuller, all harshness and congestion is gone."
So... you liked them sounding like the above description? Obviously you did but with the miraculous lead removal they now are... what?!!!
You further state that all the energy initially seemed to come from the tweeters.
Bingo.
That was my problem with the Merlins, also.
Then came this alteration, then that one.
This was years ago.
Now, with all THOSE alterations in place, you still found the speakers exactly as I did (though you seemed to like them well enough as they originally were, the alteration only making them even better!).
Then, presto, yet another alteration from the designer and... a miracle!!!
I am crazier than you, however.
I changed amps, cdp, cabling, room treatments and more for month after month trying to find a way to make them sound better.
Finally, I gave up and got some Verity speakers.
Rapture.
It was the speakers all along....
