Gotta love this forum. You make a clear honest statement about how u accidentally discovered the real positive impact of supertweeters and u get guys posting crap about age and hearing capacity. Well I am over 40 and I will never listen to my Aerial Acoustic 7Ts without supertweeters. The impact was dramatic to my old ears whether the resident scientists can explain it or not.
Supertweeters Work
So, I just got back my Aerial Acoutic 7ts from being modded by ASI Teknology, Doug Jessie. I unboxed them, hooked them up, and thought they sounded nice and improved but something was missing. Specifically, recordings with high end air was missing the delicacy and presence in the upper registers. I looked on my window sill and there sat my supertweeters. I hooked them up and viola my problem was solved. A very convincing lesson that my Towshend super tweeters work and work impressively.

@jaymark Thank you for your insight and yes this place is full of keyboard engineers and audiologist's. |
@jacobsdad2000 the funny thing is that in real life I am a physician-scientist. There are things that are real that we can’t measure. Our explanations for explaining things that are real can be really weak and offbase. In the audio world it seems that things we experience as real defy explanations and measurement. However, the level of certainty in some posts in tearing down what others hear is comical. |
@jaymark as a scientist you should continually search for the truth and a better explanation. I’m sure you’ve heard of Occam’s razor. I think the most likely explanation comes from a psychological perspective. You just spent money on upgrading your Aerial speakers and probably had high expectations for improvement. When the outcome didn’t meet those expectations you felt quite a bit of anxiety. In order to deal with that unpleasantness you decided to try the super tweeters which just happened to be on a nearby windowsill and viola! Suddenly your expectations have been met and the anxiety has gone away. Too off base and comical? Next time don’t mod your speakers, they were probably pretty good from the factory. |
@perkadin u are not in the least on target. I could hear the improvement with the mods but something was missing. When I put the supertweeters in that I had inadvertently left out what I was missing was now present. Not sure why this forum attracts so many naysayers about what fellow audiophiles report that they hear. |
