Soliloquy 6.2 Very Poor Treble .....

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,great idea!Its tips like this that make this site worthwhile,Bob

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

Boa2 I agree with you on the positioning of the speakers. And also allowing them to breakin. Too many times I've seen people waste a boat load of money trying to make a speaker do something that it's not capable of. I would think the main goal of a cable.Is to get as much of the signal to the component as possible with minimal loss.
It should'nt be thought as the quick fix.

I've rebuilt the crossovers in one pair of speakers I've owned. It made a huge difference for the better . At the same time I think back to what else I could have used the money for ..like another pair of speakers. Or maybe towards another component.

As far as the cable tone controls go. I see nothing wrong with testing the waters. But some ask for way too much of a speaker cable or a interconnect. For example ..I constantly see posting for cables to make the system warmer or fuller or more bass or better highs. No doubt they make a difference but there's a limit to what any cable will do for a system. Some times the problems upstream all along. The cable may just reveal a weakness upstream. Instead of fixing that problem people use cables to smooth it over or cover it up,the same with tubes.

And then other times it's just the speakers themselves. It may not be a good match with the rest of the system. So do you replace the whole system or replace the speakers? YMMV this is just my opinion.
