In an earlier post I said that KLH used Piezo tweeters. I actually meant mylar domes. I'd also like to add that I recently got a chance to A/B a pair of JBL E20's against a pair of KLH 911B bookshelf speakers. I have to admit that the KLH's sound pretty good. They're probably 85% as good as...

Just wanted to add a follow up to this thread. As I said, I really like my Athena's but after doing some A/B comparisons between the Point 5's and the JBL's I've decided to keep the JBL's. The E20's get a pretty bad rap on a lot of forums but they truly don't deserve it. To me, their highs...

KLH uses peizo tweeters. That pretty much tells you everything.

You could also look at the JBL E20. They're about $99.99 at J&R and B&H. Just about the same size and they sound a little better than the R15.

I understand about the limits of the human ear but a great tweeter can make or break a speaker. Don't you agree?

Yeah, unfortunately the E30's are too big. I live in an apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn so space is always a consideration. How would you rate the JBL's tweeter? One of the things that makes the Athenas so great is their high frequency response. I just ordered a pair of E20's so I'll find...

Is the Acoustimass connected to the sub out jack on your receiver or is that jack free? If it's free then I'm assuming the Acoustimass is powering your speakers with it's own internal amp(s) and is sending the high frequencies to the satellites and the low frequencies to it's internal subwoofer...

Nice looking speakers, but who knows how they sound. It's interesting that the floorstanders only go down 10hz lower than the 2 way satellites, 80Hz - 20kHz vs. 90Hz - 20kHz. IMO you can do a lot better for that kind of money.

I currently own the Athena Point 5 system which I love the sound of but their appearance is slowly giving me upgrade-itis. I'm considering replacing them with 3 pairs JBL E20 bookshelf speakers. The room is small, aprox 12x12 and I already have a good subwoofer. Due to size constraints my...

I haven't heard the Paradigm system but I have owned the Quintets (among others). If you have a small room they're quite nice for home theater, very clear, due to the horn. They have a built in stand/wall mount that works pretty well. Their music performance was ok, not great. This is mainly due...
