Hi all. This is a fantastic forum for audio discussions. I originally posted this question on Club Rotel but thought I may get a better response here. I recently purchased a Rotel integrated receiver (RSX 1065, 100W x 5) and B&W 602s3 bookshelf speakers. After approximately 150 hours of break in, the tweeters are still not very easy on my ears (fatiguing) and are somewhat bright. As a matter of fact, even listening at moderate levels causes my ears to ring afterwords. I just don't think the Rotel/B&W combo is for me. :cry:
I know there are other styles of tweeters out there such as silk/soft dome, ring radiator tweeters, inverted dome tweeters, etc., etc., that could potentially reduce some of the brightness but I don't want to loose any clarity.
What do you folks think about the above mentioned tweeters? Does anyone have a recommendation for a non-aluminum tweeter bookshelf speaker in the $500 -$1000 US range to potentially reduce my search? I have heard great things about JM labs inverted tweeters.
Thanks!
Kevin
