After I put the supertweeter in place I am still not convinced yet that it is a worthwhile investment (I should disconnect it to see). It does add a little air, but I might have taken that money and invested in a little better set of caps for my SE amps and ended up ahead of where I am today. It is a marginal investment because the DX4s get up pretty high on their own.

With tipped up response of the Lowther DX4s on open baffles I need to use some sort of means to flatten out the frequency response. With the the super tweeters there I need to put a series inductor in place. It would be interesting to do away with the inductors and go back to trying a shunt capacitor instead of the inductor thus placing no passive components in the signal path of the Lowther (which of course would make the super tweeters useless, unless if I provided them their own amps.....).
