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 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.   

@jaymark 

what you hear from your supertweeters is better reproduction of harmonics, not more treble. Read up on stuff rather than scold people trying to help you. No matter how much louder you blast high frequencies, if you can’t hear them in the first place, it won’t help a bit, doh…

@antigrunge2 I know what I am hearing and know that I like it.  I know where I hear the improvement so you are not helping me with your comments.
