Arn't the diamond tweeters supposed to sound hard???

Tell me how you super glue those zircons. Sounds like a good business model. We could have that done in China and bring them over here and really mark them up. 

How the hell did we end up thinking that we needed diamond tweeters???  Of course I can think of several things that people think we need.......

I have never heard any improvement in sound. I much prefer a nice soft dome tweeter. I may be old but those tweets that go way up in  the frequency range make me edgy and nervous. I think it is the distortion or break up at " inaudible frequencies " really can be perceived. Those people who's hearing was destroyed at the Cuban embassy couldn't hear any high frequencies. 

But what do I know

So true. Not all soft dome tweeters are good. Speakers have to be voiced. Makes me wonder who they are voicing these things for. Certainly not me.

mmey....

Good input and correct I believe. Break up even at " inaudible " frequencies drives me to my refrigerator for another one. 

I think bit coins would make a better tweeter the all the crap listed about by the wolf man.

Well perhaps with that one exception...........depending on the size of the bag...if they are huge bags, the very best bags...that might bi OK.

Plasma Flame Bags? Protecting our service men all over the world.....

So who gives a crap what the tweeter is coated with.....how does it sound? Natural, bright,

I took your advice and purchased a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers. Hard to find but finally found a jeweler here locally and he actually had to make a pair for me. So after I removed a few annoying nose hairs I finally got to those "diamond" tweeters. Those little buggers are really small. I think I got just one zircon/diamond and headed back to the jeweler. Kind of a long story but I had meet a young lady, well we haven't  meet in person. We communicated on line, she clearly loves me and wants to marry so my jeweler is going mount that zircon/diamond in what he describes as a lovely ring, the jewelers words, for my future bride. Not sure why all those young Russian woman like me so much.  
Will let you know regarding future developments.

Thank you for your thoughtful response...if you send me several bitcoins I believe I have found a way to convert them into something very valuable. Like most speaker designers I have my shop in my garage/manufacturing facility, I am convinced I can make a better speaker then most manufactures...my wife thinks I am crazy, but most people consider me a genius,,,not always stable..
