Hello I have a question. I have two speakers one is Triangle Borea Br08 and other is Klipsch RP800F.
I use the same amp Pioneer but i have noticed in Triangles all the vocals are coming from mid-range speaker and in Klipsch vocals are coming from the tweeter. I used same amp and same song.
Somebody please explain the reason why this happening. Thank you.
 
The Borea is a 3-way with a 3.5 kHz tweeter crossover. The Klipsch is a 2-way with a horn loaded tweeter with a crossover of about 1630 Hz, so quite a bit lower. So it makes sense that more of the sound comes from the tweeter with the Klipsch speaker.

Like @voodooless says, the tweeter in the Klipsch covers a larger part of the audible spectrum than the one in the Triangle.

The Klipsch is basically a 2-way with horndriver + woofer. Something very common in PA, but a bit less widespread in hi-fi these days.

@voodooless and @Killingbeans have explained this perfectly.

Just to add - for the majority of domestic 2 or 3-way speakers with a small dome tweeter, there will be almost no vocal output from the tweeter apart from the occasional "t" or "az" sounds. Normal singing and speech doesn't really need the tweeter in many speakers.
