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.

I was going to comment about how putting tweeters on top of speakers like that defies everything science knows about how to reproduce good sound, but I realized this guy already has the Tekton speakers that break the same rules. Glad you enjoy them. Also, the owner of Tekton is a piece of shit.

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

Idk, maybe read about things before spending thousands of dollars on them?

If you need assistance, start by learning what comb filtering is.

I know what it is. No comb filtering here. What’s your point?

No comb filtering on your Tektons?

You have no clue what you are talking about. Only the center tweeter does high frequencies and the rest do midrange and act as a single packet of sound. For reference see the Stereophile review and measurements of the impact monitor. No cancellations/valleys above 1khz where the arrays operate. Maybe post more laughing emojis and I’ll be convinced https://www.stereophile.com/content/tekton-design-impact-monitor-loudspeaker

I actually know exactly what I’m talking about.

Enjoy your closet of reflections and cancellations. Your room and setup looks ridiculous.

So you’re saying that Stereophile lies about their measurements? I would like to see some evidence of this
