Easy enuff to sort the ringing.

They do ring, which might be a lot of what makes them sound so awful down in the 1.5K-3K octave. Up above that, maybe not so much? I should look at the impulse response to see. They never will be stellar, that's for sure. I've seen a few of the Heppners, but have owned only the Fosters.

I've tried wrapping those metal horns with rubber sheet, pads, electrical tape to dampen the "ring", it helps, but my ears just don't like them.

I've always liked the smooth uncolored sound of those still popular phenolic-ring tweeters.
But that's me.

P10 beat me to it. I recently applied a thick layer of it on the back of my QSC waveguides - not really problematic to start with - but the stuff is so cheap it's almost silly to pass. I think I can hear a difference... 😉 I can imagine it would be more obvious on metal horns.
