It may perhaps look like an electric shaver from the 70’s or one of the first pace makers used, but it is supposed to blow new life into your (old and tired?) speakers.

What I’m talking about here is the Townshend Maximum Supertweeter. What these small gadgets pretend to do is to heighten the sense of music, by extending the frequency response of conventional loudspeakers to 90kHz allowing you to enjoy the maximum pleasure from vinyl, SACD, DVD-audio, BD, High-Resolution digital audio and all surround formats by utilising the 30kHZ plus frequency response previously only available from high-quality vinyl reproduction.

CD and MP3 are also improved, because of the coherent performance of the Maximum Supertweeters below 20kHz.

These ribbon tweeters in polished stainless steel (mirror) are supposed to enhance the bass, middle and treble.

As I’m curious by nature, I will borrow a pair of these magic gadgets to see what they can do to the Dunlavy Aletha, Rauna Leira II and the ProAc Tablette Reference 8 Signature that I currently have in my set-up.
