Romy,
Point taken on the Ozone issue...do the catalytic converters in the units work effectively? I do not know. There are relatively inexpensive measuring devices for it.
I agree completely that they sound different. You can see in my language that I was awed by them. They sound so much different than any other I have heard. I did not feel that the rest of the Acapella speaker was quite acting in concert with them. Are they more musical? I found them interesting enough to consider buying to further explore their strentghs and weaknesses in my own home and with my own music.
And again I agree with you that this tweeter would most likely require a system built around it's needs. And what is the likelyhood of finding a midrange driver to integrate? Again, I was interested in trying for the sake of the knowledge. I would still like to explore it even as my vivid memory of it's *qualities* fades. Understand that I have never found a tweeter that I like, so when i hear something so qualitatively different and so seemingly natural, I was hopeful! You think possibly this is *supernatural*. I would have to listen further with this criticism in mind. I found them beautiful...
By the way...I cross the Raven Tweeters over at 40 kHz for just this reason...I really dont want to hear them...but just have them add some very top hf extension. It is a very pleasant addition.
Steve
