I tried the dual firing Aperion and another front firing one, the PTS I think, both with my Spendors (SP2/3R2) and Martin Logans (11A). Conclusions:
1. The dual firing one is much better built and sounding. If you like what a the supertweeter does to your sound, it's worth spending the extra money for the more expensive one IMO.
2. Both of them are quite loud. I found myself using them only on the lowest intensity setting.
3. The positives: they add air / HF extension and as a result the bass also seems punchier.
4. The negatives: the sound seems to lose color, it gets bleached or gray somehow; the bass seems somewhat disjointed; there is a notable effect of blurring the transients (must be some kind of interference with the speakers' tweeter).
In the end, I preferred the sound without them and returned them both.
