Long time no post in this here thread!
I am incredibly close to buying all the parts for these speakers and just re-read the entire thread to make sure these are the speakers for me.
The tweeter is a big issue for me, I've listened to the other HTGuide WWMT design that Chasw98 built with both the RS28 and the Seas metal tweeter. Both tweeters did sound bright and harsh at first but with some listening, they both were very easy to listen to, I preferred the Seas sound a bit more since it was a bit more revealing in the high end without coming across as a harsh sound. My main listening speakers are a set of BB Insignia speakers, the ones with the coax driver and the fabric dome tweeters, not the best but listening to them 3 feet away is alright.
So I'm kind of torn between wanting a metal or fabric dome so I hope that my placement issues and listening demands will help me chose one over the other.
-On wall placement behind SmX AT screen
-Identical L/C/R
-Acoustically treated / dedicated theater room.
-50/50 (music/ht)
-Bass by 4x18" IB
-Surrounds RS225/25a by Mark K
