Nah, Fostex FE127e that I’ve had for many years. They’re known for their “shout” and a bit of break up in the highs.
I love the soundstage and detail, tried other drivers in the same cabinets and they just sounded dead.
I was going to build completely new floor standers around a pair of Markaudio Alpair 7a but EQing does seem like a much cheaper and more flexible option. Don’t really want to spend £200 on parts and a couple of days in the workshop only to be disappointed when I fire them up.

Is it madness to solve my harsh treble / sibilance by adding a digital EQ like a miniDSP? I have full range floor standers and a sub so I can use it as a cross over too, it just seems wrong to take an analogue signal from my turntable, digitise it, process then analogue it again. Right now it’s a pretty purist setup but the main speakers treble is really fatiguing.
When listing to Spotify or whatever I have the treble dialled down and it’s fine.
