Would you pay for something that you can't hear?

I can't decide on
this one - a must have or a great con?

My vote is that the cow being abducted tells the whole story. I think this is a great con. I am considering DIYing a pair of those to impress the ladies. Other than that, I would run away quickly!

First you have to ask yourself, where exactly do these things get their signal? Ok so they "operate in the GHz range", fantastic, but if there's no information in the GHz range being sent to your speakers (which there isn't), how are these things supposed to do anything? Not only is there no information encoded at that frequency for the "ultra tweeter" to play, your amp couldn't reproduce it anyway.

Hey you cynics! They may be able to pick up hi-fi from outer-space for all we know.

Look out for my ultra subwoofers coming soon.

Hey cool idea, induce RF noise to your own taste

In order for it to work it would need some input in the GHz range. I don't think my system can deliver that.

I did save the photo though. I'll print 2, mount them on wood blocks and and place them atop my speakers. I'm sure that will work just as well and look at all the money saved.

Let us know how they work out for you.

edit:

Jeez, look at that. 5 replies while I was typing.

Ultra Tweeters organize and improve the energy flow in signal conductors as well as the internal wirings of speaker drivers, making the audio system perform more efficiently and synergistically.

That's the point at which you smile nicely, put your hand over your wallet, and slowly, slowly back out the door.

Draw, you chicken !

Why DIY when you can mod an old Amana Radarange? That way your GHz tweeter comes with a digital timer and can do something useful like make THX compatible popcorn.
