Habeth SHL5 tweeter and supertweeter models

Similarly not too sure why they didn't publish your post. Usually they will only censor posts that are not in line with their interest. One possibility I can think of is the variation in the frequency range between the super-tweeter and tweeter. A super-tweeter is supposed to respond higher in the frequency spectrum, usually above 25kHz which is the upper frequency limit of human hearing. However, the specs of the SHL5 shows a frequency response of 40Hz-24kHz. That implies both tweeter and super-tweeter do not extend above 24kHz in the frequency spectrum.

A thread on tweeters may raise questions on the use of the super-tweeter in the SHL5. There was a discussion on this topic on HUG once and if I'm not mistaken, Harbeth had clarified that the super-tweeter is in the SHL5 to satisfy market demands. If someone were to interpret it in another way, well you know what that means. They may be trying to avoid this sort of discussion, hence the censorship.

I thought one of the tweeter drivers was from Audax having read that somewhere.

Audax has been long discontinued, used in the earlier Harbeth models.

Sometimes, they are fast on the censorship on the HUG. Once, I ask how many SHL5 speakers were build in Harbeth's history and I was treated like I asked a highly top secret army information...

Anyway, about the tweeter and supertweeter, is there anyone who can confirm which model of SEAS it is?

I can't imagine the designer not being able to help out with your question if you really need to know the model of the SEAS tweeter, presumably to facilitate a replacement. It's a shame really as Harbeth can always send you a private message or something. I'm afraid the designer may be the only person who is in the best position to advise on this subject. Or probably someone who has opened up the speaker and looked at the drivers.

For what it's worth, I did not post on HUG as frequently as I used to since they started this active moderation whereby each and every post will need to go through the moderator before they appear on the forum. Sometimes posts made by forummers are edited by the moderator before they show up on the page. Personally I'm little perturbed by this overly-protective policy they are practicing.

Sorry I can't be of any help.
