SUPER TWEETERS-anybody heard them?


Here in the UK -there are two main manufacturers of independant super tweeters (i.e attach themselves to existing speakers-these are by Tannoy and Townshend)-anybody on Audiogon any experience on going down this route?
Thanks.

Regarding Low Frequency...In any large hall used for recording there is a very low frequency rumble that is always present even when the musicians have gone out to lunch. It represents the natural frequency of the hall, and is excited by such things as the air conditioning system and passing road trafic. This subsonic noise is plainly audible on some recordings if you have suitable speakers and you don't activate your rumble filter.

But is it "noise"... something undesirable. It can be argued that this "hall sound" is part of the musical experience, and reproducing it adds to the realism of the recording. I find that is true for some recordings and not for others, probably depending on how severe the background rumble is.
If you had read the links which I provided I think there were comments related to tings like the hall or room effects that occur in recording studio's.

The point that was being made from discussion was that there is info that does happen at both extreme's that does influence mood or perceptions.

I think threre was a review by by Anthony Cordesman that also reflects this point wehn reviewing the new KEF's which also use a Super Tweeter.

There just might be an undercurrent that pulls you into the music that we do not acctually hear.
Sequerra HF 1's...I sit them on whatever speakers I use...like the DQ10's, ELECTROSTATS LIKE MY DAYTON WRIGHTS etc....other people's speakers AND THEY ALWAYS ADDED "AIR" AND A BIGGER, DEEPER, TALLER PRESENTATION....ALWAYS!

BUY A DECENT PAIR...TRY IT...AND TRUST YOUR OWN EARS! FORGET ABOUT PEOPLE WHO SAY YOU CAN'T HEAR ABOVE X Hz!

I also have a pair of the Tannoy supertweets and like them a lot: the soundstage became deeper, everything sounds smoother and cleaner. They definately help.
