As I said in the review, the tweeter appears to be acting as a half-wave rectifier over a narrow band of frequencies -- 3-4kHz -- and it was difficult to hear on music because there was a hysteresis effect, in that the tweeter needed to be hit with a sustained high-level tone for about a second for the subharmonic to develop.
I have heard similar subharmonics with panel speakers.
