Holy Holst John!! I was listening to the Dutoit Planets recording while reading your reply. I did as you suggested and put my ear right on the tweeter and mid-range speaker of each unit and found the left tweeter quite muffled and very distorted. To verify I switched the wiring and once again the left speaker was still muffled and distorted. It must be a defective tweeter. So I'll give Axiom a call.

Funny, after reading this forum for so long and knowing such problems exist, I didn't think to check it out on my own speakers. That's the difference between theory and practice. Thanks.
