Re: You da man!

Well, I'll tell you what I would try.

I would point the supertweeter away from the listening area. I would have it only contribute to the reverberant field, so that the first-arrival wavefront stays coherent. This would hopefully address the tonal balance issue without introducing new problems.

If you try to incorporate a supertweeter in a front-firing configuration, you can end up hearing a duet on solo strings - that is, you can hear that the high overtones are coming from a different source than the rest of the instrument. It's a small thing, but for me it ruins the illusion. It's like a tiny little man with a tiny violin accompanying the soloist.

I used this reverberant-field-only supertweeter technique with original Quads, but not yet with a wide pattern line source like the Beveridges. The situation is different so I'm not sure it would work - but it's what I'd try.
