Has anybody experienced adding a super tweeter to a esl panel
I wonder, how do animals like cats react to those when they are used? Their hearing goes considerably higher frequency than a human.Yes, I do but am in the camp that believes that there is something to be gained sonically by having capability to produce frequencies beyond 20kHz.. There are numerous papers on both sides of the topic but this is the one that got me thinking about it...

A friend who has been an audiophile for decades owns an original pair of the Sequerra super tweeters which he uses with his Avantgarde Duos. We both believe that the addition of the super tweeters adds to the air and low level detail of the presentation,.
After considerable reading and trading emails with the designer plus not wanting to bet the ranch, I opted for the Taket BatPure modules...
TAKET|Super Tweeter|BATPURE which have a frequency response of 15,000 to 100,000kHz so decent overlap with the M-L CLXs.
I mounted them in a baffle similar to the famous JBL "butt cheeks" View attachment 22346
The baffles were mounted into 4" black PVC elbows joined to 4" pipe "posts" cut to ear=-level height.
NOTE: Since the BatPure modules have a low sensitivity relative to the CLXs, I am using an Emotiva integrated amp to approximate the output of the CLXs.

Do you have pictures of the installation?Yes, I do but am in the camp that believes that there is something to be gained sonically by having capability to produce frequencies beyond 20kHz.. There are numerous papers on both sides of the topic but this is the one that got me thinking about it...

I don't have too many rodent incidents but once in a while I find a dead one, thanks to my pets. No supertweeters either, though.Dunno since I don't have a pet...but no rodents either!
Since the JansZen is a monopole, and has a flat ESL, it tends to beam and has no rear-wave to 'fill in' and widen the soundstage. My guess is they added the tweeters to satisfy traditional ESL owners' desire for a less beamy, wider soundstage.Electrostat panels on front and the tweeter on the side aiming toward side walls.
I just ordered the tweeters, here did you get the baffle horn?As Arlo Guthrie said "twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy pictures" but I only have four.
The footer for the stand is a PVC floor drain and the BatPure is mounted on a round speaker terminal plate reversed in the mouth of the elbow providing 5-way jacks for wiring.

Hi
So I guess the answer is not by multimeter and if you can’t hear it then how do you know if it’s working?
I couldn’t hear anything so how can you test them?
