    More buggering around with the Taket super tweeters. I replaced the Dunelund 16AWG with Van Damme 2mm blue studio cable. I now have 6mm from the amp to the XO and the 2mm from the supertweeter into the XO. Difference not massive but pleasing. Tried removing the supertweeters and noticed less detail to drums and brush work on cymbals alongside loosing some of the 3D holographic nature of John Coltrane's Sax. Plugged them in and it all returned. So the super tweeters look like a keeper. Soundstage very transparent on the old Tannoys 15" MG, more seperation than you can shake a stick at. Plenty of tranparency. All in all a very worthwhile upgrade for the MG's.

    Here was the first attempt at positioning with my Electric Beach FH3s.



    I was not too keen on this, so I moved them to the rear of the speaker and positioned them firing upwards where they seemed to open up the sound presentation quite nicely:





    Before you ask, the bracket I use is one of these:

    The super tweeter is stuck to the bracket using the double sided tape it came with, and the bracket is stuck to the speaker with double sided tape.

    Yep, similar to my own findings with the Townshend ones I have been using for a few years now.

    2. Piano's seem to have a little more solidity.
    3. Bass seems a little deeper and extended.
    4. A little more realis.

    Now is this in my head or do you guys get similar results???

    Great post Kevin, can I be cheeky and ask if you could write up a few notes with regards your findings? Super Tweeters are a new concep to me and I love hearing what other people find in their systems.

    Ahhh, can I ask how much the Townshend's cost?
