Well Schu ...we used the Tannoy ST 200 Superspeakers on the Tannoy 700 D hooked with 2 Sony SS Monos. The super tweeters condense the music atmosphere, the resolution draws cleaner in the spatiality. However, it depends on the crossover frequency and the tuning to what extent a super tweeter still really makes sense. You have to try it out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Targeting the crossing isn't an issue since I use a dsp... I'd like something that is 8ohm and extends 20k+ with a high level of performance and build quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiFi Heaven Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Hard to beat these amazing 60° x 120° bullet horns with 3.3uF 1st-order crossover caps ready to go for $30! PYLE PDBT78. Hot enough for ALTEC 418B's @ 100dB/w, might have to pad them down for your Heresy's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parlophone1 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Since you are going active, here is a thread that could put some light on the subject... I have heard super tweeters on Tannoys, the sound was very good to my ears, but haven't listened the same speakers without super tweeters so can not tell the difference. On the other hand, I have ribbon tweeter on my infinity Qb. I can definitely hear more sound in high frequency region than in other speakers I own, but there are lot other factors that could make a difference here than just drivers, basically what MicroMara wrote above.

YK Thom Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I can see them as a nice addition to Tannoys but I don't know if a Heritage model would really benefit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
