okay thats good to know. I am really big on metal and hip-hop that has good lows to it. Usually i listen to Pantera and their squeal of the guitar when they play is just so high pitched that it rapes your ears lol.

My personal opinion on super tweeters.
Yeah, most setups I seen with supertweeters have been harsh due to lack of tuning and too much power, but I've heard a couple of setups that they sounded loud and clean, but they were in 150+ setups and still had that sharpness to them. I say that if you're gonna run super tweeters, be prepared to do a lot more tuning to get them to sound great and not harsh, but they do work great in situations where you have a loud bass setup, and you want something that doesn't require a lot of power to get loud to keep up.

Though in my opinion, for most daily setups, I prefer silk or soft dome tweeters, as I find them great to fill all of the high end need in great detail, easier to install, and they are a lot easier on the ears, especially when listening to music for long periods of time.

I would try my luck with a set of horns before those super tweeters.
