What you're describing often happens to divers and audio engineers who have ruptured an eardrum.

Just suggesting all possibilities.

Nope. But I've never had an issue with hearing, always perfect scores!

I guess having the wife suffer through a testing session wouldn't hurt.

"4.) Standing to the left of the VP150 takes away the harshness of the "S"'s"

There must be a problem with the 150 if it is that sibilant. I suggest you contact Axiom.


Ya think?




The harshness goes away moving to the left. The exaggrated "S" still exists. Same results with M22 except I would have to give it more volume.

What if you move to the right?

I don't know how far to the left or right you've moved. Do you hear the harshness 25 degrees off centre and 50 degrees off centre?

I'm approx about 9-10 feet back. and I will move approx 4 feet to the left. So around that area and further (left and right) the harshness is gone.

That means you can't handle the accuracy of the tweeters. When you move off axis, the response attenuates. Get some resistors from Axiom.

Interesting.

I can understand the basics of a resistor. How exactly will it effect the tweeter though? And how are they applied to the speaker? Does Axiom provide these upon request or?
