Why so many complaints about M70 tweeters ?

If all monitorspeakers use the same tweeters then how come only M70 users complain of them being fragile and prone to blowing?

Unless the amps used are no good and are clipping due to the higher load on the power I see no reason why this problem is specific only to the M70s. I have used mine repeadeately at louder volumes for extended periods of time of a few hours and have had no issues but still should I be concerned?

Are all Rti series tweeters better than the current monitors in this respect? How about the Rti100s for example.

    I have had the 70s for a week (LOVE them more every day) and have been wondering the same thing based on the customer reviews at CC. No problems on my end yet, altho I haven't really cranked them. In my smallish room, I CAN'T. :eek:

    Ive crancked mine as loud as I can bear them and they play fine. I have come to the conclusion that when reading technical stuff on the forums or online 99% of the information is inaccurate. For instance blaming the speakers when in fact its the receiver or measuring a speaker resistance to suggest its a heavy load on a receiver or the infamous 'you need separates to run the Rti floorstanders' to misconceptions regarding bass management and other stuff. Beware.
