what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter

Shadorne, Does seem most loudspeaker purchasers have no clue about the transducers crossovers etc used. And most manufacturers keep a tight lip so no wonder this is so. With so many loudspeakers with a few $100 in electric parts selling for over $10000. No wonder so many gear churners in this hobbie. So maybe if loudspeakers used better quality parts and designs folks wouldn't feel such a need for add ons, tweaks or constant change to keep ones attention on the music not on the system.

American diner coffee used to taste awful everywhere but along came Starbucks and then everyone else pulled their socks up. You can now find good coffee nearly anywhere. We need a Starbucks speaker....one with good quality ingredients but that is widely avaliable so people can taste it and compare to regular diner fare.

Of course some people always had their own Italian coffee machines and DIY'd their own coffee with excellent high quality ingredients - a small minority perhaps. Is it the same with speakers?

I purchased a set of the LCY Super Tweets, added them to my Alon1's and they changed not only the upper freq's but the mids take on a whole new sense of depth. I have them pointed at a 45 degree angle to the speakers on top of the Alon's bass cabinet deck. The soundstage seems to open up - front to back- giving a much more defined 3 dimensional effect to the music. My speakers seem to take on a tone on refinement that I usually hear in much more expensive set ups. They sound so good that I am not remotely interested in changing speakers. Although I am now looking for a pair of ASL Hurricanes to power them as opposed to the Bryston that currently feeds them. How sweet will that sound?? But I am sold on the tweets , for now. anyway. Best $500- I spent in the past year.

What I'm trying to say is that music is like a sauce, when you add a little flavor to the cooler side it effects the taste of the whole sauce. It changes the overall perspective of the music, what you are hearing.
