One of the best upgrades for your system, the Aperion super tweeter

Why not just buy speakers with ribbon or planar tweeters in the first place?

This reminds me of when RadioShack was selling a super tweeter back in the 80s and 90s

I though you had a retail outlet

sounds the same

Super tweeter is the last thing most systems need.
Especially funny to see one on top of a system with a beryllium tweeter.
Also adding a dipole on top of a monopole - another brilliant suggestion.

i fully agree with you. In the past one year, I bought Emotosound beryllium supertweeter, Aperion Ribbon supertweeter, Fortex T90, Fortex T96, Realistic, and added to my Vandersteen Model 2, Usher Compass, Yamaha NS1000M, ESS AMT Monitor, and ESS AMT-1. The top end sparkles. I am 63 and probably my hearing on the high frequencies has deteriorated, so adding super tweeters add more life to the music. I think it is necessary to try different super tweeters to mix and match what is best on your speakers. They all sound different, so it is best to try different brands/models to see what match best with your speakers. Super tweeters are now permanent fixtures on my speakers.

I see you have the Aperion Audio V8T tower in this video, please review that!!! Way more interesting than then super tweeter

dumbest snake oil. great way to add a bunch of comb filtering to a system

literally no difference.

Super tweeters high in the door near the glass in my old honda really improved it's sound.
Car speakers are often placed low in the front door so your ears are our of the tweeters dispersion pattern.

where is it crossed ? since it will screw up you current frequency response... i dont get super tweeters. why not make/buy a speaker with the correct tweeter to begin with... pointing it backwards is completely weird...:(

Rafio shack has the best super tweeter

Next up,,, The Super Mid

The super tweeter has been around since the 80's that I know of.
Why not just replace your normal tweeter. Or maybe a hyper squawker.
So we end up with your normal speakers plus a pile of extra boxes.

I just love super tweeters, especially when I'm using 44.1kHz digital material and just because microphones rarely pick up anything over 20kHz.

Agree. Super tweeters are amazing. Learned this from a set of vintage RTR Magnum 12 speakers years ago. Have good results with XO's at 20khz (2nd order) and 23khz (1st order) on two sets of DIY speakers. I use pro drivers for the super tweeters for about $60 a pair + $30 for XO parts.

all good and well, but bought your audio gear for the karakter. your taste might change than this might a be solution. So don't have buy a new speaker/amp. It is interesting, think the timing issue it can bring are hard. This is for sure not plug and play.

So instead to tweak the sound with an EQ to your liking, you change or add drivers to your liking ? As long the speaker can range between 16hz-20khz I found that for example the Pioneer DEH 50 PRS can tweak any speaker to sound good just with it¨s built in noise calibration

If I had to pick a two-way, I’d stick with a super woofer and a sub tweeter!

No you don’t you don’t need a subwoofer either.

Hey Thomas, Once again, thanks for the brilliant review. as you know, I love my Galion TS120 and My speakers are Totem Signature One with a pair of JL e-110 subs. My gut is to go with the top of the line Aperion DST Dual. That said, you noted that the RST mid level unit performed better with some systems. do you have a line of sight into which unit might work best with my system. Many thanks, Derrick

as you get older you hear less high frequency sound. Super tweeters could be like hearing aids for us old farts!

I have a a pair of Supertweeters that ive used on multiple different pairs of speakers, Ive found them to make even average speakers to sound like much more expensive ones.. They are awesome for people who are becoming tired of their old speakers and want a bit of a lift.

I love the high end like many love the low sound of a subwoofer. Can't wait to get this. Thank you for another great video.

why?
because my speakers "supposedly" to extend to 100khz. 👍
I did use some Decca tweeters with my esl63s for many years though.

And here I thought the ringing in my ears were from tinnitus

Thanks for the promo code for saving$. Cymbals, piano and harmonica sound better on my wharfedale evo 4.4 speakers with the Aperion planar super tweeter!

Where can I buy this tweeter ?

For me, the general idea has been; if I need more high frequency (tweeting ….) in my hifi system ==> get better speakers 🧐🧐

I was struggling to integrate AMT model with my speakers. Then I reversed polarity - switching black and red speaker cables. It made a huge difference. Aperion AMT tweeters now nicely blend with my main speakers. Siblings are reduced making whole sistem enjoyable for long listening sessions while keeping detail and glare on top. Thomas, can you please explain the effect or if it even wise to do something like that? Thank you for the great video.

Time alignment is debunked 😂

Tone control is the devil, but thats only bc I'm on the other side of the fence and then some. It's parametric EQ all the way for me

Great insight, thank you for sharing your findings. I ordered a pair of the entry level Aperions only last week . Waiting for them to come in so watching your review has given me solid hope as I have never experianced super tweeters before. Thank you again.

This is my first time hearing of super tweeters, I may try them out, but not sure I’d be able to hook them up to my newest system, which is very simple, Kef LSX II and a Kube 8B.

This is another salesman video thumbs down.

As I get older now 74 I start to miss the speech and other high tones on movies and TV and music. So for us oldsters a great tweeter opens up the world like it was in our 20s.

I brought 2 pairs of the AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeters for my home theater last week, by far the best upgrade I have ever made.
I am in Australia and when the company I brought them from re-stock I will buy a third pair, they are that good.

Your opening statement just proved how wrong "audiophiles"are.they think they know it all,and they continue to think that they know it all.

What would you recommend for someone with a wharfdale speaker where it has bass and treble but lacking in the midrange?

This channel is dangerous.
i'm getting sucked into the world of flowery semantics like one would encounter in a wine review
. instead of rich dark and bold with a hint of oak and a finish of saffron , we get ,,,
sparkling and crisp highs with a boom boom that causes heart palpitations on a bed of transcendent Air .
This channel is too entertaining . it makes my master card vibrate in my wallet with astral voices chanting buy me buy me.
HELP !

After 23 years, in 2023 I bought thin-film AMT ribbon tweeter speaker GoldenEar BRX and I love them so much that I bought a 3rd one as the center speaker for the home teater.

I hear that this also works on surround sound systems. I have one that uses a set of satellite speakers. Would you recommend a super tweeter for such a setup and if so, how would you connect this? Would you just connect it to the center?

Fantastic - thank you. And better sequel - The Godfather 2

just purchased a pair of super tweeters...hope they are good...there are built in crossover but no adjustment knobs...so lets hope they work out for me...
REALISTIC SUPER TWEETER PAIR 40-1310A made in Japan
any thoughts❓

Can I use additional external tweeter in my existing 5.1 speaker system? My current set up is AVR :Yamaha 3072,Front speaker :NS 555,Centre :NSC 444,Rear Speaker:NS 333,Sub woofer : NSW 300. Whether my avr can sustain the additional load of the tweeters? Which tweeter will best fit for me? My all speakers are of 6 ohm ratings. I should use the additional tweeters in center channel or front channel?

I have Martin Logan ESL's, so I'm pretty sure i'm good :)

at moment i use a taket batpure super tweeter.
