RE: supertweeter for a Fostex 166en fullrange?

I have a TON of experience here...

Before I resorted to using a super tweeter, I'd remove the dust cap on your Fe166 and install a phase plug. This makes a World of difference.

From there, if you feel you still need a tweeter, the secret is to try a match the polar response of however your FE166 is implemented. This is tricky!

One approach, as alluded to is to roll the tweeter is super high, like 10k. Another approach is to fire the tweeter in a different direction, back up into the corner for some fill or what have you. You'll need to experiment here. Another lesser known approach is to use an older larger diameter vintage tweeter to better match the sonic character of your driver.

You need no spend a bunch of money here.

In the end, you may just find that whatever a tweeter adds is outweighed by the distractions it brings...

Good Luck
