The Etons have silk dome tweeters and are very very smooth. There is no harshness or fatigue at all, even at very high volumes, which I really like.

However, because of the smoothness they do lack some definition and liveliness that IMO needs to be balanced out by livelier speakers in the rear. I would not recommend replacing all speakers with Etons. In my 2 series I had the setup mentioned here https://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1236238 and it was very good.

Currently I have the B&W in my m550i and am considering replacing the front tweeters with the Etons. I have mixed feelings about the B&W but for the most part I am not happy with how bright and forward the sound is.. it can be too much at higher volume levels. Will be interesting to see how swapping the tweeters will affect my impression of it, assuming the wiring/impedance is even compatible.
