Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers
I used super tweeters with Altec 604E coaxial for many years.I also listened Altec 604E without super tweeters for couple of years.For last two years I use Fostex T90a super tweeters.It is always was some trade off between “audiophile” sound with ...

Bad recordings and high end audio
