May have to pad them down a bit to taste.

Turn out the lights and listen to the sonic image.

A pr of KSN1016 piezos with 8 ohms across it works well.

Fun stuff to play with.

BTW, anyone aware of the Parts Express "NSB" drivers? I have a case of 'em here if anyone wants a pr to try out.
I have the Audax tweeters crossed over nice & high. I bought three or four different values of nice caps from Madisound to play with and tweak my tuning, and you are right; HUGE difference. I also had a pair of JBL 075's, and then a pair of the Fostex version of the same, but I couldn't resist the ridiculous prices I was being offered to sell them, and I am quite happy with the Audax.
