I also picked up a pair of these Klayman SRS speakers for $200. They arrived packed like $1000 speakers and looked that pricey, cosmetically. They sounded like crap in the male alto/female voice. I, too, blame the crossover and the tweeter choice. I was surprised to see that they are not dipoles. The back side is closed on the tweeter baffle and heavily damped on the planar drivers.So, what to do with them? I disassembled one and the tweeter is about a three inch baffle right between the planar drivers. It has a 1" dome that I haven't identified. I am going to monkey with the crossover first and then consider replacing the tweeter. I will report on the results, if there is any interest, i.e. others stuck with beautiful crappy speakers.
BTW, my MMGs arrived a week later and ...WoW...that's what I have dreamed of in sound. I am thrilled and pushed the SRS's into the far corner to wait while the MMGs break-in.
I invited a friend to listen to the MMGs this weekend. He is not very 'techo' minded, but attends a lot of concerts and collects classical CDs. I played the Elgar Cello concerto with Dupre playing cello. After 15 minutes or so, he turned to me with a smile and said, "This is like being at an actual performance."
