what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter


i want to buy a pair of totally stand alone super tweeters, with all necessary parts built into the super tweeter, just place it on top of my speakers and run speaker cables to piggyback my present speakers connections or even come off my power amp.please tell me pros and cons. price seems to be from $500-$3000 except for the radio shack built years ago.which sell for about $80.00 used........... audiogon has the high end ones all the time, is it worth my money... regards forevermusic414

Tbg, the Onix came in about the same frequency, you could hear no music from it. It is not the most expensive super tweeter out there, could be some limitations that more expensive super tweeters overcome. I still suspect there may be coherence issues with any add on device to loudspeakers.
I tried the Onix supertweeters with 2 models of Alons. Misstl points out the possibility of coherence issues. I suspect the whitish coloration I heard in the highs was a coherence issue, super tweeters may alter the tonality of your loudspeakers.

YMMV may vary with different super tweeters and/or loudspeakers.
