Albert Von Schweikert highly recommended Fountek 3" ribbon super tweeters to me. For $81 apiece I purchased them through Madisound and installed them a couple weeks ago. I added a couple quality Hovland capacitors, 5 feet of wire, banana plugs and off we go. Improved imaging and coherence struck me first. Oddly, it wasn't so much the extended highs as it was the tightness through the entire music spectrum. I can't compare the Fountek's to the competition but for the price and Von Schweikert's recommendation I'm very happy.
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?
