EUREKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

I put there CD(RedHotChiliPeppers) in my Home CD Player($200 Panasonic Shelf System.....eh, it works.http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wc...000000000005702) and i put it to the part where is gets scratchy on my tweets in my car......and IT DID THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So. that means VERY Dirty Recording right?

Scratch that question^^^^^. :(

Apparently, i am the only one that can hear it, b/c my GF and my friend don't hear it, but on certain electric guitar notes...i can hear the tweeters get fuzzy.

It is easier to hear at lower volumes, but i defnitely hear it, but i guess nobody listens as hard to the music as i do....haha audiophile.:-)

I am guessing this happens from too much power, cuz i have them hooked up to my USA 4300x which is about 75wRMS x 4 at 4 ohms....which is what my mids and highs run at.(75wRMS each side, front and back)

I am running DLS Reference PS6's up front, and was planning on saving for some Iridiums, but i might be getting some MS6's instead, or maybe the UP6's.

Hey guys, got another question.

Is there a big difference between the 2 and 3 way Iridiums???

would it be worth it to spendthe extra money and get the 3 ways??

Thanks again guys. :thumbsup

Thank you SO very much guys.
I know i will be happy with either set i get, b/c they are both great spekaer manufacturers.
I will talk to the guy i am able to get them from and probably go with what ever is cheaper and readily available. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :happy055: :happy055: :sm29:

Thanks again Guys.

I'd go with the Profis, and don't criticize their hard domes without hearing them. Rainbow's are very "silk like" in that they're laid back, and smooth. Not the typical harsh tweeter when you think of metal domes.. just like not all silks are all that smooth, depending more on the individual driver design, dispersion, travel, coil diameter, etc.. than just the material alone. I think you'd like the profis, but I have no qualms with DLS either. Both are good companies, with good products.
I personally went with DynAudio for my three-ways because I got them at a much more affordable price than an equally performing set of Rainbows a few years ago.

My only issue with Rainbow is their seeming inability to find, hold, and keep a US distributor, and their general lack of availability.

Just popping in to say that I run the Rainbow Profi 3-way components. They are the BEST sounding, clearest, and nicest components I have ever heard, and I have heard a lot of speakers. I wouldn't hange them out for anything.

anybody else have any input?

thanks. :thumbsup

yeah, me too. but i can't seem to get his help.
i dunno if he has been on in a while though, b/c i haven't, so i dunno.
maybe GW knows some more about these two drivers and the differences between them :bow

I think Jonathan is your best bet man.
