I got the Sony SSCS5 you recommended with the super tweeter and i notice how much nicer it sounds than the other muddy speakers I have bought before.

i watched danny ritchie do a video on super tweeters awhile back and took his advice and pointed them straight up thus avoiding the phase dilemma. superb results. they definitely add a sense of place and 'air' to most music. just got a deal, $900, on the elac ref towers which arrive soon. may add these down the road. nice job of explaining the details of set up. its not simple if you point then at the sweet spot.

The octopus bit made me laugh SO MUCH!! LOVE the humor!

[jkhq]

Randy, if you are genuinely interested in keeping an octopus, keep in mind they are highly intelligent and need constant mental stimulation. I've heard theories that they don't live as long in captivity, in part, to the fact that they can get bored with "small" enclosures easily.

Thanks Randy for the great review. I think you explaining the setup process will help a lot of people from thinking set it and forget it. Now if I just had superman hearing instead of old man hearing these would be perfect.

In some of the best clubs (old and the few that are now currently still in operation for at least 5 yrs) have super tweeters. It widens dead areas in the club but most importantly heightens the senses. It's a great compliment to a system with a sub. It brings back memories as a child when 4 way and 5 way systems were the norm. I can't wait to try this in the home environment.

[treyhorn]

That sounds like a blast.... I am down for that I have not heard talk of super tweeters in a long time. I'm really glad you made this video on this.

[thepracticalaudiophile]

I just got mine and it added just a touch of sparkle to the sound, but it added a phenomenal sense of air and openness to the sound. Make sure they're as close to ear level as possible.

[raffeal]

The intro alone is worth a thumbs up‼️🤣👍🏾

[bongofury]

Loving your style Randy. Instant subscription and I have some of these supertweeters coming to add to my Tannoy XTF6 floorstanders and Tannoy 8 inch sub. Happy listening from Derbyshire

One Sock Jack's are great, my lil' brudder shops there.

[albertwarga]

Been running these super tweeters for over a year now. Have them rear firing. Basically, they add depth and ambiance to the soundstage.

Great Video, I have been looking for this information for a very very long time. Thank you so much Randy

[Gary_M]

If you have a teenage son I recommend just ignoring the missing socks. Seriously, don't even ask. (Unless you're having his girlfriend over for dinner, that would be a great time to bring it up.)

[laurentzduba]

The best super tweeter info vid on YT I've seen so far. ❤

[freone]

Hey randy. Everyone must remember also that mix and match of drivers are more complicated than it seems. Having installed alot of passive and active systems sometimes they just dont sonically match. There are sensitivity issues, impedance etc. So its really a trial and error unless someone has tried and experimented with it. The best tweets will not necessarily match the best woofer. Thank you randy

[CavalierLiberty]

I was just looking at GR research super tweeters yesterday to add to some EPI Speakers i have coming in. Great timing!

[carbidetooth]

Isn't there a possibility of negative tweeter interaction? Like if one becomes jealous of the other and they can't work it out...what happens then?

[methylbenzodiazepine]

The mimic Octopus is my favorite animal. It has the coolest camouflage

[BetterISupposeYeah]
