Thoughts on adding a Super tweeter .

I have posted something like this before,but thought I may ask for follow up input.
I already have a superb tweeter,ruler flat to 25khz(titanium),yet wonder if something like the Townshend(it starts to come in above 20 khz,and goes out to a zillion khz,almost)or Murata(comes in at 15 khz,Too low?, goes to a trillion,just kidding btw,)would add "real world"enhancements to my existing set-up.I have NO problems,with high freq performance,as of now,yet in this hobby,one can always be surprised.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated!

Best!

I agree with Muralman1. I have recentlty tried Super tweeters and I think they overlap the other Speakers tweeter's too much.
I also think it threw off the balance of the mid and low range of the main speakers.
But, I was experiminting with vintage Rat Shack Super tweeters. (5K to 45K hz 96db). I knew the original crossover network 5k was too low, so I took all that out.

I tried changing crossover points all the way up to 18,000 hz, and I also tried first order and 2nd order slopes and it still added too much overlap.

So unless someone will let me try a Murata, I am done with that idea for now.
