They are great all-rounders but the bass is magnificent. As for the rough highs I replaced the tweeters with superior Seas Excel t25cf001's and they made the top end softer and more life-like to my ears. Electronically they are pretty close to a drop in so I didn't change the XO but a little Dremel tool work was needed and the flange overlaps a little but still looks good. I like them a lot better now. You could also try the Seas H1189 as it fits the recess (you still have to Dremel for the wire connector on one side) and the specs are even closer to the original, it too is an excellent tweeter and cheaper at about $50 vs. $120 EA. I like the Excel a bit better though but each has strong points. Yes, I tried both of them. Some will like the H1189 more I'm sure. Especially after a few days break in.
