Don’t be fooled by online “experts” who have not actually listened to super tweeters in an existing audio system. Super tweeters, at least those I’ve heard, are the real thing. I won’t repeat all the general comments I provided about super tweeters in the introductory sections of my Kan Audio Lab and Townsend reviews. This review covers the Taket-Live as well as an even more baffling component from TakeT, the WHDPURE. Next, my research led to me Japan-based TakeT just as the company was releasing a new and redesigned surround super tweeter, the Taket-Live. I subsequently obtained and wrote a review about the Townshend Maximum super tweeter. It amazed me enough that I decided that I needed to get a better handle on this fascinating component category. All from a satellite speaker, which, when I put my ear right up to it, doesn’t make an audible sound! Thus was my welcome to the world of super tweeters. Merely by connecting it to my amp, setting the volume level and placing it on the floor next to my Vivid G1 speakers, I suddenly had a much larger, taller and more detailed soundstage, smoother treble, more defined bass, and an enhanced sense of “rightness” of the music. If you’ve read along, several months ago I reviewed a fabulous but very expensive add-on product, the Kan Sound Lab Mewon TS-001 ribbon super tweeter, which was brought to me by George Vatchnadze of Kyomi Audio. Such is life when evaluating components like these. I’m sitting here listening to Al DiMeola’s Dinner Music of the Gods and thinking, “Wow, this sounds great!” But does it sound great without the TAKET-LIVE super tweeter and WHD PURE “woofer-high definitioner”? I unplug both of those satellite speakers and, sure enough, my system sounds really good but not as detailed, dimensional, or “right” as it was sounding previously.
