Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Apparently Wilson Audio does not buy into super tweeters.

Here's a question (since the topic is on tweeters, I'm not wanting to hijack)


If you have a standard tweeter that will go to say, 18K and a super tweeter that will go to 22K then I understand that the 22K version will be vibrating faster than the other one. (right?)

So, here's my question....

First, I can't hear much above 14K the last time we did a sweep so it seems anything above that wouldn't matter for me.

What I wonder though is.... since the 22K tweeter can dance back/forth quicker than the 18K tweeter, would (could) the 22K tweeter do a BETTER job from say, 10K to and through 18K than the 18K tweeter can do?


Analogy would be perhaps a boxer? If you have a boxer who's only able to throw a maximum of speed bag punches of say, 50 in one minute (I've never done it so I'm making up the numbers) and another boxer who can throw a maximum of speed bag punches of say, 75 punches in a minute.... then logic would tell me that the faster puncher should be able to throw more accurate punches and hit a more precise spot when he is asked to slow down to 50 punches in a minute.

Yay nay?


(and pardon my weird example.... it's simply what came to me when my fingers were flying on the keyboard)
