Realistic super tweeter?

A longtime friend of mine was a longtime Radio Shack guy and I remember hearing these sitting atop Mach 1's, at point blank rage (a typo I'll leave) with however much power the big silver Realistic receiver made, about 120 I think. I'll give it a 9+ on volume and a 7- on sound quality.

I do think those supertweeters were pretty good. RS had them crossed over at 5kHz. I wonder how low they can go.
 
Those speakers are pretty nifty. I have some wired inline with a separate volume control because they're so loud compared to my other speakers.

The floor standers are aperiodic vented, I used a resistor to balance them with the rest of the system. I could improve on the x over but then again they are my beat on knock the house down speakers. Super efficient too
 
So, in 2012 it was decided all these need is a 4.7uF cap "bypassed" with a 2.2uF cap? If using a decent quality M.P. cap why "bypass" with a small value cap? No inductor? No L Pad?. I know, this post is ancient but I recall these did sound pretty good and I got a set. Was thinking of trying them out. Maybe I will make a easy to access board of some kind and play with values... I do want to sit them on top of my other speakers because I would like to be able to move them front to back and mine have no enclosure....yet. Any comments would be appreciated! Thanks!!
 
i used some pvc pipe to try to keep the original look. eventually glued them to some plywood for the base.
in use to this day.

Thread 'Anyone build external L-Pad enclosure?'

I'm thinking about putting two L-Pads in separate enclosures (project boxes) that I can connect one each to my external super tweeters. Something similar to what really good stuffs sells (reallygoodstuffs.com/L-PAD%20Enclosure.htm) that allow incoming signal from the speaker then out to the super tweeter using binding posts. Anyone know how the L-Pads, which I have, would be wired up. I've looked at a few diagrams about how to wire L-Pads that are inside the speaker cabinets, but clueless about when they are outside the cabinets. The external super tweeters have crossovers installed...
