I think that piezoelectric tweeters should stay where they rightly belong, really cheap PA equipment, or those devices used to repel bugs....

hahahaha, but how do you really feel? i'm not understanding your reply, you need to learn how to express yourself

:-)

OK, thanks for the help, i was curious if anyone had heard them , not much info on them on an initial internet search

thanks

No offense but most males don't have much hearing beyond 15kHz. So I think the 28kHz response of the 802D would be adequate to the task.

And unless you have an SACD player with the output switched to the 'test' mode, I don't know anywhere you'd find front-end gear capable of reproducing ultrasonics, let alone sources containing ultrasonic material. The claim that having supertweeters capable of ultrasonic performance make normal treble sound better, is a bit much IMO...

BTW I have a SACD player with one of those 'test' switches and large hybrid planar line arrays each containing 16 leaf tweeters capable of 40kHz output. There's no audible difference when the switch is in the test position.
