I use Focal Pro HF102. Good price and come in at about 105dB without the horn. Here they are mounted experimentally close to the voice centres of the mid range and existing tweeters.

You cant hear that high so how can it add an expansive air to the music!!? I cant hear above about 11khz so talk of supertweeters is a bloody nonsense. you cant hear it so its adding nothing to the enjoyment of the music.
I was looking at some B & W floorstanders yesterday. £3300 and not a super tweeter anywhere in sight
Do the hearing test as I dont think most people have got a clue what a continuous 15khz tone sounds like. You wont be missing an expansive air above that.
I think I can enjoy the music just fine with my middle aged hearing. Ive got 6 tweeters on my pa speakers which I mix with another two on my Royds. I dont feel Im missing much important information
