I bought these Fostex FT17 super tweeters from ebay.uk. I am just waiting for the seller's shipping cost and invoice. These tweeters are perfect for my Fostex FE167E. I like the custom aluminum housing, built-in L-pad, 3 toggles/choices for the crossover, and sexy stands. There should be no problem integrating this.

Sexy pair of tweets Gino! Congrats! How much?

$349 excluding shipping. This can be had cheaper but this set comes with all the components I need plus a sexy housing.

Very cozy room Gino. Purpose built to forget about time and enjoy the music. Hope you will write an extensive review on your super tweets. Been interested in super tweets for quite sometime now since I heard a Townshend equipped Vienna Acoustics monitor.

It is very relaxing. I will post my listening impressions in 3-4 week's time.

Is this the same room that you will upgrade with a bigger sub? Based on the size a fast and agile 10" would be enough

Gino · « **Reply #66 on:** Aug 12, 2013 at 06:21 PM »

This is the room.

Wow. Nice FRs! Ganda!

everytime na nakikita ko talaga room mo, narerelax ako at malamang sarap ng tulog ko nyan habang nakikinig ng music. Layo sa stress ng buhay.

Gino · « **Reply #69 on:** Aug 13, 2013 at 09:08 PM »

Sarap magkape dito after my morning run. Bukang buka ang tenga ko. In between work, kinig ako to decompress.

panzimus · « **Reply #70 on:** Aug 13, 2013 at 09:11 PM »

haaaayyy...sarap nyan!

Hindi ko alam kung snail mail pinadala yung mga tweeters. Sabi niya website said 5 days. Kung ganoon, baka EMS Pasay ang bagsak nito. So I might get them early. I will know by this week. If no notice, then snail mail siya.

Nice tweeter sir Gino... btw wala ka way sa south.

Gino · « **Reply #73 on:** Aug 13, 2013 at 10:00 PM »

I have a way to the south but I don't have a reason to go there. I also do not want to transport my amp and risk testing old speakers. A lot can go wrong.

Tsnad · « **Reply #74 on:** Aug 13, 2013 at 10:05 PM »

Ok.... no problemo.. ygpm.

I installed a pair of Allington Audio Fostex FT17H super tweeters. Selectable 15, 17, 20 khz @ 6db slope. L-pad for gain adjustment. I also had to redo speaker toe in. They intersect a foot in front of my head. I have a 60 degree listening layout. Imaging greatly improved and the super tweeters integrated nicely.

Offhand, all I've read about their effects are true. They not only extend the highs but contributes psychoacoustically to music immediacy from top to bottom. I've dialled out sibilance and am now enjoying as I wait for for burn in changes if there are any.

Nice ganda siguro ng SQ nyan.

Heto, lubog na ang sofa ko. Literally he he. I am having my carpenter Jorge refoam and reskin.

takussa14 · « **Reply #80 on:** Aug 22, 2013 at 01:36 AM »

Libog?? Hehe nakaka yung speakers hehe!
Oh my i wonder how it sounds now!!! Wowow!!..whhee!!

Ive been thinking of setting up a system inspired from the red room but ill finish mine first hehe!

Ganda siguro niyan tweeted na

Gino · « **Reply #81 on:** Aug 22, 2013 at 07:59 AM »

Oops, sorry I meant to say "lubog". Nagspell check ang phone ko he he.

Yung effect ng super tweets from the last time you heard my system is very subtle. Hindi siya overtly nadagdagan ng kalansing as people normally expect. I tuned it best I could to fill in the very little gaps. Halong psychoacoustics ang nangyari. Biglang nagka presence ang mga elements. And hindi lang basta sa highs. For example, a snare drum will have a bit of top end bite. Yung kick drum may maliliit na huni maybe from coupling with its metal housing. Think of a bat's ecolocation. They use high frequency sound to find their way. Ganun ang effect I guess. Nadadama mo ang object without consciously hearing it.

Kung ano ba ang word na madalas gamitin, yun ba ang pinipili ng T9 or predictive text?

Nabuko ako tuloy he he he. Nakakainis yan pag mag iMessage ako sa client.

Sounds like it is better that way if it is felt more than heard. Sounds like it gave more realism? Yes if i und, it gave the room extra air, something not heard but gave way to sound to... Etc etc etc haha! Basta i feeel you!

Gino · « **Reply #85 on:** Aug 22, 2013 at 12:30 PM »

Ha ha ha. Ganun din with a sub. The lower extensions add immediacy and realism.

Wow! Very nice set up sir Gino. Btw, my av rack & speakers stands were also made by Abe Carpentry (Kuya George). Ikaw pala yung nabanggit nya sakin last time na nag usap kami. Hehe! :-D

Gino · « **Reply #87 on:** Aug 23, 2013 at 12:20 AM »

Small world. He passed by the house this afternoon to look at my sofa. He will be picking it up tomorrow for a makeover. He did mention the speaker stands he made for you and will bring pictures tomorrow. I said, that was exactly what I had in mind. I saw your stands before and had been doing research on whether such stands were made to tune the speakers. Right now my intention is to have my speakers at an ideal height for focus.

I take it you live near Kamuning too?

Small world nga. I still owe him a picture of my set up. Was not able to visit him eh due to a busy schedule. He's good at madali kausap. Dapat nga papagawa ulit ako sa kanya ng stands but I decided to get the Atacamas na lng. I'm from Kamias bro.

Gino · « **Reply #89 on:** Aug 24, 2013 at 10:17 AM »

pm me the photos for him. Magagamit niya for portfolio. Ako magdadala.

He picked up the sofa yesterday. By late next week done na.

Pinag-aaralan ko pa the speaker height I need. Matapang imaging speakers ko. Konting galaw ng ulo laki effect. Dapat sakin barber's chair.
