Can you just try a throw rug temporarily to see if that helps? Even if it won't work as a long-term solution?


Mark, I'm running analog from DACMagic straight into a preamp. There are no tone controls.

edmond, sorry i didn't see the post where you tried the shop towel...

did you try the tissue? with the tissue you could still put the grills on and no one would know... shop towel, well not so much... Would be a good conversation starter though smile


MarkS, i said it was the tweeter, because the bostons, the highs were Ear piercing to me... when the volume was turned up, they literally hurt my head with the sharpness of them. with the Dyns at about the same volume, the highs were much more laid back,did not hurt my head and sounded better to me.

Still not necessarily the tweeter material as much as the total speaker design.

dakkon, the shop towels are more like a paper towel only more cloth than paper. My grills are back on and you can't see the shop towels taped over the tweeters cool

Concerning the x-curve setting in my Pioneer AVR. (See page 3.) I've attenuated the high end .5 db. This starts at 2k and gradually goes up to 20k hz. I'll have to wait to see if this helps any.

I wonder why amps do not have input clip indicators? My BFD 1024 does and I can very clearly see when I am getting close to clipping the input.

I think it would be worth a quick email to Emotiva to confirm what input levels should be set at for a short run of cable.

Fred, that's usually a "Pro" feature where upstream mixers, compressors and the like are pushing out non-standard levels and you have to work the levels from the beginning of the chain through to the end.

I'm going to go ahead and post here since this thread is about me needing to tame the high end of my M60s. I was looking through the forums and saw this quote about the new version 3 speakers

"As for changes to the performance we have redesigned our tweeter, all of our crossovers, and most of our woofers."

If they have redesigned the crossovers and tweeters then that would probably take care of the "brightness" I experience on some of my music. One of the "reviews" from a customer stated specifically that the highs sounded much better in version 3. Maybe enough people mentioned the bright sound (although not all heard the sound as bright) that they tweaked that a bit.

If Axiom would work with me would it be possible for me to replace my crossover and tweeter with the new style?

I think you might have to replace all the drivers, not just the tweeter, as well as the crossover. I would call Axiom and they can let you know what exactly you would need.

There is talk about being able to order all the parts online from the store at some point.

Hey Jake, I would consider that if the cost isn't too high. Don't want to do an upgrade/retrofit if it costs almost as much as the speaker itself smile
