Pim, I checked and it's apparently normal for a small amount of hiss to come from the tweeter. Not a big deal as one has to have one's ear about an inch or two from the tweeter to hear it. As for the bass response, my understanding is that with amp break-in, this should improve. At this point, it isn't what I would call a profound difference. I am quite happy with the changes I have made to my system and believe they will only get better.
