what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter
Sns, since my experience is limited to using the Muratas with the Beauhorns and then the Acapellas, it is hardly generalizable. Earlier when I had Altec VATers, however, and tried the Ionovacs with them, I did have unsatisfactory interactions in t...

Detlof, I return your sentiments. I never intended to advance knowledge, however, only to reveal my experiences.Happy listening to you also. 
what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter
Stanwal, the Ionic tweeter or Corona or plasma, is not a supertweeter. Many come well down into the audible range. I think there is a good reason to distinguish tweeters and supertweeters. The Reference 3A Grand Veenas, have both tweeters and the ...

Mapman and Learsfool, be contented then.

Yes......

I didn't say that the output of the Murata only dropped below 15K Hz. It is dropping sharply at 15K. Yes, I suspect it is the mechanical characteristics rather than a crossover and thus my speculation about the Townshends.I doubt seriously if you ...

Mlsstl, it is my understanding that there is no crossover in the Muratas. I have also seen the frequency response curve on them. There is some output below 15K Hz but very little. As I said, when they only are playing you hear no music. I have tri... 
Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone?
Colesey, perhaps these are the fuses being imported to the US by Lotus Group. 
Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy?
I have had most mixed experience with old receivers. I have an Advent 100 radio from the 70s that still sounds as it did then. I had a Fischer 500 which needed new caps, but sounded quite good, but I got tired of worrying about the caps and tubes....

Years ago at CES Murata demonstrated their supertweeter. Listeners heard a musical passage without them and then again with them. The passage had more air, sparkle, and life with them. As we were all murmuring about how something that has no respo...

Audiokinesis, you say,"Years ago one of Stereophile's writer offered some perspective that I think is worth passing along, only I can't find the exact quote. But it went something like this:"I am not so much interested in WHERE the musicians are o...

Shadorne, "do an admirable job" "very few" those are good terms. I think speakers are basically "pick your poison." I have three times gone back to compression drivers in horns and three time abandoned them. I have four times tried horns with othe...

Pubul57 and Audiokinesis, I refuse to concede that reproduced music should be allowed to differ from real. We are seldom allowed to be in optimal locations at live events or to hear without amplification. There is an enormous thrill is hearing rep...

Pubul57, I agree about the dynamics. I think it is basically how slow our drivers are. If you have ever heard the old Altec VATs or the Klipshorns with their compression drivers, you get close to the dynamics of real music.I think that were you wh...
