Nope, wrong again. When implemented properly, they are no different than any other ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Its a  known fact super tweeters/horn tweets have sibilance.I HATE super T's.  The highs stick out like a  sore thumb. I believe the BA super tw...

whizzers allow for a   wider soundstage.Rolloff? For sure, no big deal. There are 1000 tweeters out there that can sing quite well above 5khz.The only fq's I need from a  high end WBer are 40hz-12khz.The 5khz-12khz from a  WBer are much greater so...

My Experience With Tekton
All new speakers are the same.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Not true. Sonus Faber boasts a  new Scanspeak Neo Dymium Midwoofer,   but has a  carbon fiber cone.Love Neo in magnet designs. And  only like the sound of a   magnesium cone. Carbon Fiber = more d...
