Johnny,
I agree the B&W speakers with aluminum tweeters are a bit too crisp/fatiguing, but when I demoed the 805’s with the diamond tweeters, I was SOLD! I also agree that carbon fiber sounds like a WONDERFUL material for tweeters, but I wonder if they can go as high in their frequency response as diamond tweeters can. And even though they go beyond 20K Htz., they are NOT fatiguing at all to listen to. And maybe my Macintosh amp is on the warm side for a solid state amp. I’m not totally sure, I’m just happy!! And I’ll take “happy” anyday, during this crazy time we find ourselves in. Music keeps me sane in this insanity around me. That and my religious beliefs. I’m loath to watch the news, because it raises my BP. Music is my way to relax, and I guess sort of like meditate as I’m listening. Not listening like it’s background music, but REALLY listening. Thank God for music!!
