Stand alone tweeters


Has/does anyone use these or anything like it? If I was going to purchase and hook them up I assume I would have to use a separate amp? They are 8 ohms and my Tylers are 4 ohms. I am tapped to the 4 ohm output of my Mcintosh now. The only way I think I could do it is to run the tweeters with the rear L&R of my Harmon Kardon, run it in full stereo mode and adjust the channel outputs accordingly. ( I use the Harmon Kardon as a pre and am not concerned about home theater). What do you guys/gals think?

The main task of stand-alone tweeters are somewhat similar to subwoofers but at the different end of sonic range of freequencies.

the cut-off point of supertweeter limits the visible spectrum of the main one thus bringing more defined and flat responce.
As much as I am fascinated with an add on supertweeter,I cannot get away from the fact that if you have a tweeter coming in about fifteen to twenty khz or higher,the addition essentially doubles the response,above that point.I don't think that's too good,and don't want to add any false sense of air,which may be reinforcement,rather than "info"!Yet I have heard the Townshend(on a speaker limited to 17khz,and mine go out to 25khz,so I'm a bit paranoid about screwing up a really good presentation)and it shocked me as to how effective they were,in a good way.
I initiated a similar question some months ago,and got back very negative comments from an audio industry person who sort of convinced me to give up the thought.

YET,AND YET.......

Best!

Best!
