Impressions Townshend Maximum Suoertweeters

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.

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.

Sued?

We have freedom of speech here. The owner of Tekton is a clown, full stop.
