Re: Two questions to you Mr. Kal Rubinson...

Where you put any driver in relation to another is very important. In order for two drivers reproducing the same signal to act as a single source and NOT produce constructive/destructive interference (resulting in reduced dispersion, Venetian Blind effects and, possibly, lobing), they must be within 1/2 wavelength of each other. This applies to multiple drivers in the same bandpass (e.g., multiple woofers) or to two drivers sharing a band of frequencies at crossover.

Consequently, I do not believe that any add-on supertweeter, regardless of how extended or smooth its FR is, can peacefully co-exist with another tweeter. Of course, that doesn't mean that someone might find (or imagine) the effect to be an improvement.

All that aside, why are you thinking of adding such to your speakers?
