Post Subject: The way how Fostex supertweeter sounds?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 3/1/2011

I think it is absolutely not need to discuss how Fostex tweeter sounds as it might sound like anything. Type of crossovering, type of amplification, type of electricity, type of loading, type of time alignment and the precision of time alignment might change sound of this tweeter from anything to everything. I do not particularly defend this or that tweeter but I still feel that it is not the tweeter but how one uses it. This particular case two people report it from “sharp and artificial” to “too syrupy and soft”. Sure different people might have different reference points but I tend to believe that it was just the way how different people used it in two different setups. It is very simple unwilingly to make Fostex-like tweeter to sound sharp and sharp. Unfortunately many people do.
