Be sure you know what part of the system is the problem. Often people say its the tweeter, when in reality its the midrange that is the source of problem.The metal cone used has a xover point of 3,200 HZ. That most likely means that it has a good chance of adding its resonance to the lower treble in very harsh ways.
Also the 8i seems to have midrange presence in the 1000 to 2000 range of 3 to 5 db. This can make the speaker have a forward sound.
It also seems to be recommended to place these with little toe-in as the smoothest response is between 15 to 30 degrees based upon measurements.
I aint saying that SEAS tweeter ain't causing you some problems, but you got to know your midrange contribution.
Yes refined sources can make speakers more refined sounding.
