I need help with my B&W DM 602 S2
Hi guys,
I need some help to see if I can correct the highs in my B&W DM 602 S2. I can not stand the bright highs anymore. I have another set of bookshelf speakers, Monitor Audio Silver S2 which has excellent highs. The B&W s are harsh and there isn't way I can enjoy them. If I can not correct it with some crossover modification, I will sell them. It is incredible how a company like B&W makes these speakers with such agressive tweeter. Please, what do you think can be done to correct it if possible ??
Thanks,
Jorge.
Modifying a commercial product will often kill resale value
Messing with the crossover is neither simple nor low risk. You could shift the crossover frequency while your complaint seems to be more about magnitude rather than crossover frequencies.
If the tweeters do not have an attenuator, you could add one to each tweeter, but you would want them accessible from the exterior. Understand the probable impact on resale value.
Thin adiabatic foam, thin fiberglass or cotton/wool cloth over the tweeter might help. Might. Control of the process & results would be tricky but the risk should be low.
I would try fabric or acoustic wall treatments near the speakers first.
