    These are mine mounted in little wooden boxes sitting on top of my speakers . I may buy another set to try in different positions around my listening area

    70db / 1m...you can't here them...but they have an effect over the whole range...adding clarity and air...a marvelous wee tweeter....

    Hmm,I feel a debate about their real sonic contribution is called for!

    The Tannoys are about 93db though ... quite sensitive ... massive difference from 70db. what sensitivity of speakers are you using it with?

    Uhhhh Mark Audio drivers NEED Tweeters. My frugals did.
    Because the single cones simply cannot do a decent job of it anywhere near 20khz let alone over (or 100hz either but I digress).
    Fitted CSS 1" domes (~ 25$ the pair a few years ago) which were purpose designed to complement the Mark Audio drivers.
    (Mfg'd by Mark Audio I believe)
    Crossed at 4000hz IIRC
    Quite sweet/pleasing tweets actually.. belying their price
    Much improved soundstage and clarity. A mandatory pairing IMO.
    Bass remains a weak point though
