Saw this on the Steve Hoffman forum, thought I'd pass it on.

H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    At 84 db rating, you'd better bring a serious amp to the party.

    For those that prescribe to the word "excess"...

    "With a break-up frequency of 30kHz, our aluminium dome tweeters already push sound quality well above the upper limits of the audible range. But inspired by what we’ve learned about diamond, we wanted to see if we could do even better for the PM1. The result is an entirely new type of tweeter dome. By bracing the dome with a ring of filament-wound carbon fibre, we’ve raised the break-up frequency of aluminium to 40kHz."
    Do you hear that buzzing noise? :confused:
