| Super Tweeters Can cause destructive interference due to to far a distance between drivers and from drivers covering some of the same frequency not to mention the time error. Then you have the very limited efficiency of most ST again not going to match your loud... | |
| Super Tweeters Super tweeters need to be design for particular loudspeaker used not just off the shelf one size fits all. More to it than just setting a box on your loudspeakers and saying good enough if you understand how they interact with the rest of the loud... | |
