I read that a lot of you fellows are using a 0,67 uF cap in series with your 8 Ohms tweeters.
That will give you an Xover point of 30 000 Hz, which is way above human hearing and also most playback sources.
I use a 1,5uF cap giving my Fostex T90a a 13 000 Hz Xover, which I feel would be better match to my Radian 750/200hz tractrix horns.
