I just picked up a pair of 1.5's - using them in a bedroom.   Love the soundstaging, but <100Hz there's about a 20 db drop off vs 100Hz+.  

I'm using a panasonic sa-xr55 to drive them... it's actually sounded fine with much higher end stuff, and no, there is no sub/subwoofer crossover affecting this. I'm looking for a way to tone down the highs and add fuller base.  Any cheap SS recs would be wellcome.

Thanks.

That's a really good suggestion from Rap.  I use my Radial RL2s in a near field arrangement in a former bedroom and I use rather high value resistors to lower the tweeter output with very good results.

Hi Angaria.
As I have been known to have problems with carbon resistors in certain placement´s I ll leave the advice on those to Lon or some other local expert on radials (I´m still in the process of building mine ) . But bias aside I gather Riken´s are highly regarded but I dont´think they were made in the 5w flavour. Most of my old resistors look like Allen Bradley´s or tantalum´s ( I spent a lot of time 20 years ago stripping out old gear for parts, as I had no money!) I think that in the 5w region your best bet might be Vishay resistors but to each his own and all things are relative

Thanks for the helpful responses guys.

Lon - ratshack sells 50 and 100 ohm 10 watts resistors - but I'm not seeing any of the otherwise suggested 5w.  Are these what you're using?
