    I find tweeters help add definition much the same way a bit of midrange helps cut through a mix. Going from a 1983 Peavey TNT 130 combo with only a 15" to cabs with a woofer & tweeter almost made me cry - I could hear the notes again! (I sold that piece of gear long ago and never regretted it)

    I agree with BPs sentiment and am beginning to think I'm a roundwound player again due to the "you can always have less" theory of eq'ing to approximate a flatwound sound. I know, I know - its not the same thing, I'm just saying I'm coming around for the umpteeth time realizing why roundwounds are so popular.

    I own Hartke because I'm not a big fan of tweeters and the Hartkes give me enough top end. Since I play finger-style, pick-style and slap/pop they work for me. I found that when doing the "pop" part of slap/pop SOME tweeters and SOME tweeter settings can "spit." Operative word there was "some." I don't HATE tweeters, in fact I have had many instances where I've been provided with a back-line rig that contains them and I use them judisciously and with reasonably pleasant results. But I love my Hartke rigs. I have 7 pieces of Hartke gear. Two matching combos, two different pairs of matching cabs and a head. Hartke isn't for everyone but I dial in a very balanced tone, so I've been told.
    I also like my entire (and hopefully well balanced on board) sound to come out of one type of driver as opposed to the sometimes disjointed tone I've heard some players get where all of a sudden the treble goes "HERE I AM!"
    Give me smooth anyday.
