Yes compression systems have better specs lower distortion less thermal compresion ability to control radation patern greatly reduced bass distortions over convential dynamic designs. Convential dynamic designs can have a bit less coloration but mostly there benifits lie in ease to ship design house and sell not in any performance aspect they are inferoir to full horn system in any measurable way and it also seems subjectivily so for those who end up with horns mostly have experanced the rest. I know most have standard dynamic designs and they do not want to hear this but its true.
There is no superior tech, only implementation. The JBL M2’s use compression driver for the tweeter and it’s a great speaker, whereas Revel uses a regular tweeter for their Salon2.
