I'm using a £50 pair from Japan and TBH I'm astonished. It's my first time using them and I'm more than happy with the outlay.
Any additional thoughts would be most welcome.

I have them in my system and love how they help the whole sound and cost about £50

TAKET
1. Slightly more shimmer to brush work on some of my Jazz records.
2. Piano's seem to have a little more solidity.
3. Bass seems a little deeper and extended.
4. A little more realis.

Nope , this has been my first experiment in this area too Andy and I've been well pleased with the result . Apparently you can use more than one pair of these in your system and I may go down that road .

Connect them up the same way and put them in a different position , probably above and to the side of the originals .
Mr wonkycustard on here has his firing backwards away from his listening position and it works for him ( I think )

Yes I been thinking of getting another pair Steve electricbeach showed me if you put them in different positions how they alter the sound you here I am sure the big Supertweeetrs by Taket must be very good but its a big price difference www.taket.jp/batpure/batpure.html6moons.com/audioreviews/taket/2.htmlIt seems this work really well with wideband speakers so explains why they help in my system |

I think you could mount them on something like a picture frame to good effect . The only problem would be hiding the wires . Unfortunately , as ever , the proof is in the listening . I really need to get another pair of these to have a play with  |

Having recommended these Taket Batpure to both John and Wonky I'm pleased to hear of their continued interest and that of others. I've been playing with them for more than a year now, tried everything from mounting away from the speaker to actually inside the cabinet, multiples, etc - far too many hours!  They are a tool, which I consider have a unique set of properties, and it depends what you want to achieve with them. I've used them in a couple of different speaker designs and for different purposes; I'll post my experiences this evening and dig out a couple of illustrative photos. |

Nice work Brian, these look very interesting!
Not knowing anything about them, does anyone know if they would be suitable to use with Tannoys?

Brian - is making the boxes for these easy enough for a total DIY simpleton like me??

Hah ! You're talking to another DIY ''clanger '' mate so yes The other way is to buy a solid piece of wood , drill 2 holes where required and mount the TAKETS to that . They have double sided tape on the back . Anyone tried any other method of attaching these ? Two things to remember Julian . These things are tiny ( around 30mm x 12mm ) so can really be mounted anywhere . Secondly , be careful if you're soldering wires to them . |

Mr wonkycustard on here has his firing backwards away from his listening position and it works for him ( I think ) Mine are fitted to the top/rear of my speakers, firing upwards. I am glad that Steve recommended these as the performance increas for £50 is staggering. |
