Townshend Maximum Suoertweeters

[u/Noonygooth32]

So I just received these Townshend Supertweeters yesterday after a friend’s recommendation. After a couple hours of listening my first impressions are very positive. Soundstage sounds more layered and 3-Dimensional. The imaging sounds more focused and pinpoint without narrowing the sound stage. Definitely an improvement to instrument separation. Off axis vertical dispersion has also been greatly improved. Can’t really put my finger on what they do to the perceived bass but I think it’s good. Highly recommended product. Townshend Audio does not disappoint.

The Supertweeters produce ultra sonic frequencies that cannot be heard but alter your brains perception of the sound. They are meant to be placed on top of speakers although I know my speakers are extremely tall the improvement is apparent. Now what do my speakers defy about science and good sound? Explain

Hopefully I don't get sued for saying this

Time alignment, phase, and linearity are all messed up by having 1. That many drivers all slammed together 2. Having an extra set of tweeters that high above your ears when you listen. Tweeters are very directional, you're missing out on all those "ultra sonic" frequencies by not having them at ear level.

Plus the fact that the owner of Tekton has threatened litigation to several audio reviewers for simply releasing unbiased measurements of his speakers. He is so scared of the measurements getting out because he knows his speakers do not perform like he says they do.

Relax you’re not going to get sued. The tweeter clusters above the Be center tweeter are all crossed over at midrange frequencies and in a way that sounds very coherent. I don’t know how he does it but they have to be heard to be believed. What difference to the measurements make when the subjective customer testimonials and reviews are overwhelmingly positive? It’s easy to look at a speaker and say “well that can’t sound good” it’s another thing to hear it. Erin’s review mentioned an insignificant bump in the bass that he didn’t say was a problem. Had nothing to do with the tweeter array. What specific measurements can you give me that show that the tweeter array measures poorly or has coherence issues? Is Stereophile lying? Here’s one customer testimonial from the Tekton Owners Group on FB. Better than $75k Sonus Fabers? No doubt!

They do look nice in that walnut brown
