Soliloquy 6.2 Very Poor Treble .....


After several calls to David Berman at Soliloquy, without a response. I will put it to the Audiogoner's . Will I need to change the tweeter or rebuild the crossover to "brighten up" the highs in this speaker....Or should I just trade them off and start over ????. I kind of like the speakers if I could get them to sound a little better. Maybe that is why they are no longer in the speaker business...I think that changing the tweeter would be the easiest but I will be open-minded.....Thanks

I once owned the 6.3s . All in all very nice speakers. The treble sometimes got a little hot.The speakers never sounded dull.But this may have been something else in the setup..who knows. Silver does have a positive effect on the Sols. Just stay away from silver clad copper hybrids. It makes the speakers sound a tad thin IMHO. I don't like using cables as tone controls ..so YMMV.

If something doesn't work for me. I just sell it and move on.

Too many times, I've found a change in cables to be the problem solver. And three times, this has happened with a pair of speakers that I was resigned to sell. Twice with speaker cables, and once with a pair of interconnects.

You will find a lot of exasperated owners of Soliloquy speakers during the break-in period. It all depends on how far you're willing to go to try and make it work. Personally, I think it's a shame to write off any component before I've allowed it to work to its potential. That could be via a change in cables, tubes, maybe even the orientation in the room. But hey, that's just me.
Trelja, I had the back off my 6.2s a few days ago. There are two crossover boards. One attached to the front inside of the box and another to the removable plate on the back of the speaker. The Crossover on the plate is marked "tweeter" it definitely has a sizable air coil and what appears to be a large resistor contained in a rectangular plastic box ...and if memory serves me correctly, there was what appeared to be a second large capacitor/resistor (dime diameter about 3/4 inch long). Retrospectively that seems odd.

Could you advise further from this simplistic description? I too am interested in getting a bit more sparkle from my 6.2s.
Didn't Tannoy make an ad on tweeter.I am spacing on the manufacturers name but they make a G2 ribbon tweeter that I believbe can be added to top of speaker.Just Google "G2 tweeter" and it will come up.
G'luck
