PSB Gold,tweeter upgrade.

Loved the Gold's, absolutely in love with the Goldi's. When I purchased my original Gold's I was not originally impressed, I found them quite shrill on the top end. Having been a long time fan of Acoustat's, I was certain the answer was to rid myself of these bright barbarians. My solution - Classe amplification. Originally driven with Aragon 4004 II amps the Gold's were too much to bear, tried Bryston and Krell, didn't work, tried Classe and have never looked back.

A number of responses have dealt with the load the Gold's can present an amplifier, the fact that the Classe's are renowned for their ability to drive very low impedance load's, and are very popular among electrostatic and ribbon users says they'll drive anything.

I like all the solutions, but amplification must always be a consideration when the top gets unbearable.

Audio39, Did you ever try a tubed pre in front of those barbarians? Low and behold no shrill. At least that has been my experience.

I would go with the focal's or morel mdt-33's- but then I prefer a soft dome tweeter over a metal dome any day. :)

btw I got mine here-->
