Thank you kindly for the detailed, infomative response Booboobaer! When I auditioned the Nova Utopia BE, coincidentally it was also with the older Krell electronics! Plus I'm not at all sure the speakers were broken in. Your theory about tweeter break-in sounds perfectly plausible. So yes, I think you are telling me something I didn't know... and I appreciate it!
Can you describe the differences between your original Utopias and the new ones with the BE tweeters? I've heard both and could not stand what the BE tweeters brought to the party--bright in the mid-treble, then dropping like a stone further up the scale to make it sound airless. However, the midrange improvements I heard in the new model were startling. I'd be interested to learn if your results were similar.
