Townshend or MuRata Supertweeters? Thoughts?


I do love the added air and dimension provided by the ultra-high frequencies that superb supertweeters offer. I owned a pair of Wilson-Benesch Trinity with integral MuRata supertweeters, which I enjoyed very much.

The outboard MuRata run $2k or so. I’ve read that the Townshend are fantastic as well, at half the price. Any thoughts?

I haven't heard the Muratas, but owned the Townshends and I think they are a great addition to a speaker system that needs more air up top, as well as a feeling of more presence overall. Even on the highest setting they're not obvious. I can see how they would be redundant with certain tweeters.
