I've owned the CDM 1NT and A/B'ed it with N805. Indeed, the 1NT seems to have more mid-treble energy than the N805. Since the latter is regarded as the better-balanced speaker (as it should be considering its price), I think the 1NT is relatively brighter.I find that the 1NT is very revealing in the treble, so with bright electronics it is definitely annoyingly bright. But with good electronics (tube or SS), not necessarily dark-sounding ones, these speakers can sound detailed in the treble in a pleasing way... airy presentation of ambience.
About the tweeters, I already verified this with my dealer before I bought the 1NT: the CDM NT series does not use *exactly* the same tweeter as the N800 series. They are very similar, but not to the point that it is impossible for one to be brighter than the other. And besides, even the *voicing* of the speaker during design stage can make a tweeter sound brighter than it normally would.
