Well, I set everything up in my home office, with the Bozaks on either side of my desk.
They sounded great.
Too great.
The tweeters were too loud!
Thinking it over, I made an executive decision to make a minor mod to both speakers.

This shows you how things looked in one of the speakers after they had been reinstalled and rewired.

I installed an L-pad in line with the tweeters in both cabinets...

...and you can see the addition of a knob on the back. This also shows you how the backs looked after application of Bondo and sanding to fill the other holes.
Yes, I put another hole in each back and installed L-pads in each back.
Heresy?
No, they aren't Klipsches...they are Bozaks
Okay, you didn't get it. Anyway...
The L-pads, when turned down to about 3/4 volume on the tweeters, resulted in perfect sound to my ears. And that's what counts.
I robbed the L-pads from another pair of unused speakers, so it was a fix I could do quickly without having to purchase anything additional.
I would not have done this if the backs had been previously untouched, uncut, undrilled, and would have pursued another solution such as a crossover mod. But since they had already had multiple holes cut and drilled in them previously, I figured, "Hey, what's another hole in the backs..."
