I have both and the CX50 does indeed sound a bit brighter. The CX100 has the best balance of the two, in my opinion. But remember that God created bass and treble controls to be used.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/313471.aspxTue, 08 Feb 2011 13:25:49 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:313471kimberley0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/313471.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=313471<p>I wonder whether I am alone in finding the Beovox C40 &amp; CX50 very &#39;treble-forward&#39;? I have heard several pairs and it is apparent that there are differences in tweeters (though whether different tweeters were factory-fitted at different times in the production history, or substitution made after overload on the ones I have seen is another matter), but most seem to me to have very bright treble.</p> <p>I don&#39;t mean &#39;lacking bass&#39;; that&#39;s the immutable laws of physics preventing deep bass from a small box, but to my ears the bass/mid-range driver does a creditable job from about 100Hz upwards, but above about 3,000Hz there is excessive output. The other little &#39;speaker I use is the (BBC-design) LS3/5a: reducing the tweeter output of the C40 by about 6dB makes them fairly comparable.</p> <p>Should I hang my head in shame &amp; resign from Beoworld? Or do other members have similar views - and if so, what (reversible) modifications do they make to these remarkable little &#39;speakers?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
