Use of a super tweeter worth the investement ?

I bought a pair of supertweeters that were the EMIT type, and I wasn't satisfied with the sound and stopped using them. Two years later I bought the Townshend ribbon supertweeters and have been very happy with the result with no plans to get rid of them. I agree with emailists that they have an effect across the audible range, including the bass definition.

I’ve used my own contraptions with 40khz tweeters. Just have to get the acoustic centers correct.. That’s the real bonus.

I do not hear at the super tweeter level anymore. 

Interestingly enough recently a longtime friend who has forgotten

more than I will ever know about sound  told me

that even I would benefit from high frequency tweeters.

Why, how I asked? I do not know if he even knew the real

reason why but he did believe it. Thanks for bringing this up

again as now I will experiment with tweeters that play beyond 

my measured frequency hearing. If sub woofers can make a system

improve overall beyond the few additional abs they add then why 

not the same on the other end???

chorus,

I don't have the knowledge to know the reason why, but the little I have read suggests that no one really knows exactly why, but we are able in some way to perceive the supertweeters contribution.

i experimented with adding pair of cheap ribbons blu tak'ed to the back of my speakers, a 0.47uf cap each 

and while i cannot directly hear anything coming from the ribbons

the soundstage just opened, the air, my god the air

spacious like all get out

go try. aliexpress is your friend ;p
