CS10 frequency response

I'm using REW to try to measure my room acoustics with my CS10 center and the response curves I'm getting are frightening. I'm seeing a HUGE (30+ dB) dip at about 3.5kHz. I'd normally assuming something this dramatic was an error in my mic'ing setup or signal flow to REW, but the problem is easily audible. I know I have some hearing loss, but when the frequency sweep is being performed, starting at about 3.5k I can hardly hear it anymore.
My only thought is that somehow my tweeter is being WAY underdriven. I'm not bi-amping, and the jumper is installed. The slope on the response chart is so dramatic, thought, it looks like a low pass filter.
I'm going to try bi-wiring (which I'm not normally a proponent of), just to see if there's some sort of issue with conductance with the binding post jumper.
If I figure anything else out I'll post an update.
Any other questions or suggestions are VERY welcome.

I would also suggest replacing the jumpers with short pieces of speaker wire. This seems to give people more reliable connections. If that fails, you likely have a bad tweeter or crossover.
