Um, no. Super tweeters are used to allow the regular tweeter to cut off at a lower frequency, for example, if the tweeter design has breakup at 20khz, you'll want to start rolling down a lot lower than that, so you have a super tweeter that can go from 10k-35k to handle the last bit. Many extremely high end speakers have super tweeters. I have no idea whether these are any good, but just wanted to correct your statement on super tweeters.

Seems crazy cheap for what it is, Every one of the speakers is at least a 3 way design which might correct a lot of speaker design problems. Anyone know what measurements are like on them. I've only ever seen talk of their retro speakers, but the fact that they've made THX rated speakers in the past does also kinda make me think that they do know how to make a decent speaker. In the description for the Midrange & Subwoofer it does say " Klippel optimized construction " Which makes me think that they did real measurements them when they designed them. If they measure half decent, this would be insane value. Visually pretty attractive to boot.

Also note. Sub seems to be the Alpha RS 8" which states that its 25-200 but no mention of F3 or F6, and only comes w/ a 160w amp @80w RMS on it so makes me wonder how effective the Subwoofer really is.

Would love to hear any impressions on this kit cause it does seem like nutty value.

Looks like a decent set for the money, but there are no reviews on the full bundle, it seems.

Magnat is part of Voxx Int., which also owns Klipsch, Jamo and others.

Magnat is a respected German brand. Basically boils down to "you get what you pay for". I think these would perform good in smaller rooms and when listening at not too loud volumes.

Here is a short positive "review" from the German audio "rag" Stereo:

https://www.stereo.de/hifi-test/p...e-507-1787

I don't think these are junk or white van speakers, but who knows how good they are?

Here is the company's description of the mains:

I'd call these 3.5 way

CROSSOVER FREQUENCIES
400 Hz / 2800 Hz / 17500 Hz

0.75" super-tweeter
1.2" dome-tweeter
1 x 6.5" midrange
2 x 6.5" woofer

This is the second Adorama Magnat deal I've seen hit FP this week, but there are surprisingly few reviews or even mentions of this brand from users or professionals. A spec sheet from the manufacturer has so many fudgeable variables that it's practically meaningless.

It would be nice to have some real world measurements for these specific models, but you can barely find a handful of anecdotal firsthand experiences with this entire brand. And what you can find is in German.

Quote from sirdan357 :
It looks like the extra tweeters are "super tweeters" (like in the cheap Sony speakers that constantly pop up here) that go beyond what any human can hear. In other words they are totally pointless and used more for marketing reasons. Not like a regular 3 way that has something handling the mids. Doesn't mean these aren't good speakers.
Um, no. Super tweeters are used to allow the regular tweeter to cut off at a lower frequency, for example, if the tweeter design has breakup at 20khz, you'll want to start rolling down a lot lower than that, so you have a super tweeter that can go from 10k-35k to handle the last bit.
