Seas new reference tweeter. I didn't have the Millenium to compare with directly, but IIRC they sound very similar. Although drive levels were only 2.83vrms, it's interesting to note that higher order distortion products are virtually non-existent, and 3rd order distortion is lower in all cases than 2nd order. Intermodulation distortion is also very low. Decay results are superb (you can ignore anything past -30db or so).

Please help me out here, Nguyen, because the Nearfield Frequency Response does not look real impressive and seems to disappear after 10 kHz...? :confused:

Is this a function of the measurement type/method used? Am I missing something?

Hi, Kevin. There's a thread stickied at the top of this forum that may help you :)

Short answer though, yeah it's the measurement technique.
