My Taket Batpro2 Super Tweeters Have Landed…
James Edward:
I am/was looking to add that last bit of ‘air’ to a system I truly enjoy. I just installed them this morning before heading off to work. I’ll be listening and breaking in this weekend. These are controversial as to how they work; I will report my findings as I listen.
Taket Batpro2 is one of several out there- Townshend Maximum Supertweeter is another, at more than 2.5 times the price.
Sopranino is another, at a significantly higher premium.
Let’s see what happens…

The Panasonic/Technics leaf tweeters were extremely musical and very low distortion. I used them for many years and wish I had never sold them. They sounded best crossed over above 3.5KHz at at least 12dB/octeave. the would make incredible supertweetrs in used properly.
If you don't want to use them, I'll buy them from you :thumb:

but if you really want some; they're not that expensive - mine are either pt-r13a's or 14a's; i forget which; and they typically sell for $100-$200/pair. (mine may only do 50khz?) the pt-r7's, which seem to be made specifically to be supertweeters, unlike like mine, which came in pioneer speakers, go for quite a bit more; but still somewhat affordable, at ~$500/pair. there are others that are as expensive or more, depending on the series. (i'm not familiar with the technics/panasonic iterations.)

Ahhhh, I see.
I'll have to check them out.
Panasonic has made some incredible stuff in the past. Sounds like you have a good plan there, Doug :thumb:
