075's are tough to tame.
A simple , but not great fix is to add an L-pad.
set it for -5dB as the coarse adjustment, and use the built in JBL pad for fine adjustment.
I would let the d130 run out, don't roll it off.
I have spent some time with JBL bullets and networks. They are a bit shrieky.
The Cat's Eye is the best one.
The slot one is the worst one.
B&C has a terrific new 60 degree-(unusual) neo bullet.
It is called the d35.
i have tested this tweeter, and is the real deal, other than a expensive Fostex.
The curves B&C presents are dead accurate.
don't throw away your JBL bullets though!
