is doing a great job what we have here is too much activity in the upper mid range and a lot a lot of spiciness up on top they're rated at NUMBER_TOKEN ohms and NUMBER_TOKEN db NUMBER_TOKEN ohms means the resistance it that can be a harder to drive load so you may want to check your receiver or your amplifier to make sure it can handle for ohm load sensitivity is NUMBER_TOKEN db which means how much power does it take to get this thing loud NUMBER_TOKEN db is not super low it's not super high it's kind of right in the middle probably south side of medium i didn't have any issue driving these off this year frankly they sounded great on this year but okay it's great that it sounds good on high-end equipment because that is the highest end equipment i have that's a NUMBER_TOKEN dac going into a NUMBER_TOKEN preamp going into a NUMBER_TOKEN amp so there's a lot of money in the electronics so i took the aima dNUMBER_TOKEN which is a NUMBER_TOKEN dollar class d dac amp i ran my trusty oppo cd player into both of those setups and the good news is these still sounded very good now what i had to do on the iema doNUMBER_TOKEN is i brought down the treble four and then it sounded pretty good still a bit active in the upper mid range surprisingly bass tone and texture was good i'm very surprised i'm very surprised at this speaker so i got a bit curious with these and i bought them so i can do whatever i want with them so i opened them up and i found their crossover and lo and behold their crossover actually had some fairly decent components for a NUMBER_TOKEN dollar speaker two air core inductors two electrolytic caps and then another cap i'm not really sure because i didn't pull it out and actually reverse engineer the crossover but it looks like a second order high pass a second order low pass and then another cap in there for whatever reason i'll figure it out the one thing that was missing though on the crossover was any resistors now it's starting to make sense because i've built a few speakers i've built a lot of diy speakers for myself and for customers and i actually tried my hand at putting together a speaker and designing the crossover really bad it wasn't good my speakers aren't good but through doing that i learned a little bit and what i learned is very rarely is the sensitivity sensitivity is how loud a speaker or an individual driver plays at a specific power rating rarely rare lee is a tweeter the same sensitivity as a woofer so what speaker designers generally do is they put a resistor either before or after the high pass crossover to bring the overall tweeter level down to be in line with the woofer there's no resistor on this crossover which means although this tweeter is being crossed over it's also wide open its sensitivity is not being brought down at all and if i'm a betting man i am guessing that the sensitivity of this tweeter and the sensitivity of this woofer are not the same one probably needs a resistor good news is the crossover actually pulls out with the binding posts and you don't have to unsolder well you're
