As I said it is possible, though less likely than not, that both speakers have a manufacturer flaw (incorrect components in the crossovers.)Honestly your observations are not supported by the objective data. That should be end of story here.
Additionally, multiple reviewers and very experienced member/owners here have contradicted your subjective observations. Another end of story.
Try to find out whats wrong with your system.
If they are indeed to Spec, then...
My observations are supported by the measurements I took and will post soonish which are objective data and further supported by the subjective listening as well which is obvious and not subtle at all.
I am not Sean Olive but I am also not a newb at all.
You have no curiosity?
Whenever I hear end of story that is a major red flag.
I looked at all of your posts on ASR, and bless your heart you are not Floyd Toole or even close..
I have 20 other speakers here now. This is not a thought exercise friend.
I want to get to the bottom of this.
Besides, looking at the objective data others have presented I am seeing extraordinary fall off from the tweeter staring at 5k just like my own testing.
In the meantime, get out your laptop take some measurements with your mic and REW of your Revels and the RC263's and the POLK R100's you have.
We can compare. I'd like to see what you are getting since you have something close to the R200's.
-Calibrate equal SPL with 500-2500hrz pink noise
-For each speaker take a 1meter sweep on tweeter, gate it
-60degree 1metter at tweet level, gate it
-(30degree might be cool if you have time, I only did this for a couple speakers as I ran out of time to measure)
-MMM energy capture from the listening position in a smallish zone for maybe 1-1.5 people. run for maybe 20-30seconds and smooth just a bit to 1/24.
