Not alot of high treble information but they also dont suffer with any hint of upper midrange/lower treble harshness
A very good description of their “vintage” top end.
How many hours on them?
Nice diffuser in behind :^)

What's ~ 8.6 or 17.2 cm long?Im guessing the hump around 1k is from not flush mounting?
Baffle load[ing] for a fiver (loose terminology as I'm still stuck with a partly disassembled house & 'net access is limited). For typical bookshelves, narrower floorstanders etc. you often see that output in the ~1KHz - 3KHz BW depending on dimensions & driver type; it's one reason a lot of people seem to cross tweeters somewhere roughly between 2.5KHz - 3KHz -not necessarily because they're thinking of power-handling etc., although they might be, but because you'll see a slight dropping trend with declining frequency they try to incorportate into the high-pass design before it kicks up once again. Since with 2-ways I tend to like low-crossed tweeters at the price of a more complex filter and / or baffle design (or a quality mid-tweet 😉 ) I don't worry too much about it myself, but I suppose we all have our foibles... 

Thanks! Lots of mitre chops. Only about 20 hours or so. I tend to not be a huge believer in 'breaking in' but I am able to notice my ears adjusting to the speakers. The nice thing is these ones dont require alot of adjusting, nothing too peculiar about their sound. Just very pleasant and smooth.A very good description of their “vintage” top end.

Good question, the closest dimens I can find is the cabinet depth which is 18.5cm. Maybe thats it? I wouldnt think its from not flush mounting as thats 8" (20.32cm) but maybe thats close enoughWhat's ~ 8.6 or 17.2 cm long?
Yeah, you know I really like the midrange on these guys. I had considered running a small horn and drooping it over the box for the very tippy top. Or maybe even a super tweeter 5khz+ might sound really good with theseBaffle load[ing] for a fiver (loose terminology as I'm still stuck with a partly disassembled house & 'net access is limited).

Most likely as there's losses going around corners, i.e. acoustically shorter plus there's two to combine. One way to find out, drape a thick bath towel/whatever over the top and drooped over the front/rear some and see how it affects its response.Maybe thats it?
