Super Tweeters


Hey folks,

These days I want to buy a pair of super tweeter but I don't have any experience and information about them. Actually, I read some about Tannoy ST100 Super Tweeter. Do you guys know any ?

The Townsend ribbon Super tweeters that Ozzy mentions are widely praised. I know that I want a pair.
Johnk,
To begin with, a lot of these supertweeters do have adjustments on them, and since you are only augmenting the highest frequencies that are likely not even being produced by your speakers tweeter, it is not like you were adding a "super midrange" (if such a thing existed) which would cause all sorts of problems obviously.
In the end, many have found them beneficial to the whole sonic spectrum, and if that conflicts with measurements that say it shouldn't be so, who really cares, except apparently yourself.
Koestner,
That is true, but there are ways to compensate for that as well. In my case, my speakers are a D'Appolito arrangement with a large horn between two woofers. If I had a super tweeter, I would build a stand for it so that it was level with the mid horn, and placed farther back to compensate for the earlier arrival. There are options if you use a little imagination.
