Product Description
Like those in high-end studio microphones, a ribbon-style tweeter in speakers is capable of delivering an impressively crisp, nuanced, and clear sound that sports power and definition. The Aperion Audio Aluminum Ribbon Super Tweeter Speaker is an excellent example, showcasing an impressively wide frequency response for its comparatively small enclosure size Read More

If you're into DIY, it appears to be an Aurum Cantus G2 ribbon.
So if you want to roll your own, they're $150 each online.
You would have to build an enclosure and add a cap and possibly a resistor to keep it from blowing up.
The specs for these are all jacked up. This is not a stand-alone full range speaker like the description says. This is an add-on for your existing speakers, and it sure as hell doesn't have a frequency response of 8hz to 40khz. More like 8 KILO hertz.
Wharfedale alone has 3 different models on their books right now at way less than 700 per pair, at MSRP.
You would be far better off just finding a speaker that you like the treble on than trying to integrate a pair of super tweeters. The potential issues around directivity, imaging, and other interactions that you might have to deal with just seems like a wonderful way to waste a lot of time and money that could be spent more productively. That's before you even get into the silliness of a tweeter that extends to 40Khz.
iwendtNow you're beginning to discover what being an audiophile is all about. Those Wharfedales have major directivity errors at their crossover point, between 2kHz-3kHz, due to the beam size difference between the tweeter & the woofer. Those speakers will not work well on hard floors nor low-ceiling rooms, both combined make the error much worse without major room absorption. Their sound quality due to that directivity error is totally dependent on the room, and to make the speaker sound good requires EQ between 2kHz-3kHz. This Super Tweeter will not help this particular 2kHz-3kHz Wharfedale error since the Super Tweeter output starts at 8kHz, although it might fix other Wharfedale issues above 8kHz. So while you can find maybe 6 pair (looking at Crutch.) of bi-ampable bookshelf speakers at under $700 MSRP, they aren't audiophile enough to not require EQ for the woofer/tweeter crossover or have other similar issues, and thus wouldn't be a consideration for the average target market of the Super Tweeter, audiophiles. Now, that doesn't mean someone using Wharfedale Diamond 12.0, 12.1, or 12.2 couldn't buy the Super Tweeters, of course they could if they just wanted those speakers to sound better from 8kHz-40kHz--it just isn't very likely. Like I said, you'll find Super Tweeters more likely used on speakers from $1,200/pair & up, but you retain that right to put them on sub-$100 speakers if you desire.
