Anyone try Townshend Super Tweeters?


I have a speaker using modded titanium tweeters,going flat to 25 khz.Very good air and detail.However I did hear the Townshends once,used above a silk dome(the main speaker was a Sonus Faber Extrema),with incredible results.Truthfully,to me,the best high freq transducers seem to "still" be ribbons.I'm contemplating giving the Townshends a try.

Any thoughts?

I have just heard the Elac super tweeters placed on top of Revel Studio which I thought would be overkill. First off the Revels and the Elacs were finished in a silver grey and were a close match.Adjust the crossover points on the Elac,10 seemed best when I heard them.The Pre amp was the VTL king of the pile linestage, power amp was the newest Levinson,as was the cdp,a Brinkman tt was used as well,all cables were top of the line Shunyata.
The bass with the Elacs was not as tight as with the stock Revels but there seemed to be more bass in the room(overload?)but the over-all sense of relaxation with the Elacs added in the mix was something you immediately missed when the Elacs were disconnected.In summary if I had the money I wouldn't hesitate to add them to the Revels.
How they fair on other speakers will mean another trip to the dealer. He says they are amazing on the Audio Physik Scorpio. I will see?hear for my self.So far I am sold on the Elacs.In this case the reviews of the Elac were similar to mine.
