Anyone try Townshend Super Tweeters?

I have a speaker using modded titanium tweeters,going flat to 25 khz.Very good air and detail.However I did hear the Townshends once,used above a silk dome(the main speaker was a Sonus Faber Extrema),with incredible results.Truthfully,to me,the best high freq transducers seem to "still" be ribbons.I'm contemplating giving the Townshends a try.

Any thoughts?

Any decent ribbon tweeter will work well as super tweeters.I use Fountek JP2s with 1 or 0.5 mF caps.Other friends use Ravens or Fostex.Some attenuation using resistors may be required.
Many of the high priced super tweeters look like rip offs to me.This is not rocket science.
