Best super teeters to add to pair of horn speakers

I have a set of Odeon Tosca horns (or semi horns as they also have coventional moving coil bass drivers).Think company sells anther S version of speaker but am thinking I have seen well contructed super tweeter units sold by Tannoy,Fostex and others.Think I have even seen some ribon units availible.A nuber of folks with otherwise fine speakers like Qauds with their rolled of high ends have gone this route and thought I might give atry.Anybody with knowledge of brands or their implementation and use who could give me some pointers would be appreciated.
Cheers

There are no "best supertweeters to add to pair of horn speakers" BUT there may be supertweets compatible with your particular spkrs.
Can you specify SENSITIVITY, FR figures and horn type used, for yr spkrs?
Most importantly, what is it that makes you feel extra tweets are necessary -- i.e. what are you trying to improve?

Chazzbo,you have a good idea,and will most likely gain rewards,if careful.I have heard,and investigated the fabulous Townshend Super Tweeter.It is the most flexible unit that I know of,and comes with a wonderful cable,to boot.Take a look at their web page,and best of luck.

Fostex t90aex,t900a t500a2 are the best arround have not heard any others close. If you like I can offer new fostex tweeters set up to match your system. Please check my feedback I have done this for many others a ribbon wont match your horns as well.

I tried Fostex FT17h and Beyma Cp21-f the Beyma was much nicer and not that expensive, the best trick I learned was to use a pair of mono speaker volume controls from Radio Shack, they use transformers and are really good to adjust volume with out loss of quality, use a 1st order xover, just a cap in series with the positive cable...for just tweeters I go for silver wire, from audioconsulting.

All the Best

Darn, after reading the title of this thread, I was hoping for something a little more juicy :-(
