LOL, get a room, you two!

I had tried the M3 ti back then but I really wanted a full range speaker without using a sub (I gotta have that bottom end from the kick drum). smile

Thanks for the ideas. you might be right about the driver. One is a newer replacement that I bought when one of the originals failed and it has a different look (black vs silver) and weighs much less.

that is an issue ... I’m always running a sub so I forget it’s there ...
I’ll have listen to the M3 without that running ....

I assume both tweeters are from axiom ...

In any case not having the same components (or version of components) in both speakers is more then likely going to compromise the sound (unless Axiom told you the versions were interchangeable).

Hmmmm...I wonder if you're burning out tweeters because you're driving your Denon into clipping.

You definitely need a sub with M3s for full range.

Both tweeters are from axiom. Ian said they were interchangeable so I assume he has a pretty good idea. wink

Just swapped out the one capacitor from the bad cabinet. it was flaking out after about 2-3 minutes. currently about 20 minutes into a listening session and so far so good (knock on wood). I might replace the cap on the other side to match as the new one sounds a tad brighter.

Wish me luck that this one holds up longer than a year.

The Denon has two discrete 90 watt amps and I don't usually put it over 4 or things start to rattle off the shelves in the house and tweeters seem fine, just the x-over that gave out.
