    Default Supertweeters if you just stream ?

    I only stream from spotify and you tube, my speakers have a range to 30khz.

    Was looking at a few interesting threads on supertweeters , but CD cuts out at 22khz. Am I right in thinking I’m not likely to benefit from use of supertweeters ?

    At 70 years old I cant hear that high, but they still make a difference adding an expansive air to the music.

    I dont use open baffle design or a single full range driver. I’m also using an amp that uses DSP to correct the room response. Its hard to imagine what the effect of a super tweeter will do in my system but I get the principle. Right now I do think my system has good top end sparkle, but i’m always interested in pushing limits.

    Yes saw these Grant, they also do a model up from this which is encased and has an adjustable crossover and good quality speaker terminals. However this would be forward facing and maybe better off with theses tiddlers up firing.

    Do you point yours forwards or up ?

    Ive tried the takets on 57s firing vertically on the rear worked well.

    My son now has them on his frugels again at the rear firing vertically....they are excellent.

    Dont ask me how or why they do what they do-enhanced midrange and bass articulation but the make a noticeable difference.
