    Got you. And the 85th tweeter is different than the 80th or same with the wire mesh cover?

    They are very pretty. They look like loudspeakers. And not like something from a bad Doctor Who parody (as so many loudspeakers nowadays seem to do).

    Oh you silly hard scientist, don't ya know that speakers are cultural artifacts subject to endless revision and variation?!? We did make them up, after all, we can change the way they're "supposed" to look ad nauseam. Last I checked there was no platonic form of the loudspeaker...

    Kabuki speakers!!! *sigh*

    Glad to hear the Lintons are working great. I am digging my Dentons so far.

    Just the thing for listening to KISS, you know?

    I do apologize -- well, mostly -- for the digression :)

    The Lintons do look great; it's be fun to hear a pair.
    How is the treble; I seem to recall some sense that the 80th anniversary Dentons were a little rounded off at the top end(???).

    What I thought was a rolled off top end on the 80th's was described by someone else with more experience as lacking in clarity.

    Lots of people love them though.
