Hi there,
I run a set of B&W Preference 6 loudspeakers in my stereo system.
They are remarkable speakers for their size and provides me with startling realism and dynamics.
One down-side is that the high frequencies can sometimes be very harsh and "painful" to my ears. Some "experts" says that this HF harshness is caused by the plastic rings in-front of the tweeters - said to be Hermholtz Resonators...
These "experts" suggest carefully snipping off the plastic rings.
Now - I am not going to rush into things here but I have noticed that the newer B&W tweeters do not feature these plastic rings. My question is "WHY?"? Has B&W realized that they cause HF harshness?
