Let's talk Tweeters!

Another thread which talked about specific speaker brands was taken over, so I’d like to start a new one.

Mind you, I do not believe in a "best" type of tweeter, nor do I believe in a best brand of speaker, so lets keep that type of conversation out, and use this instead to focus on learning about choices speaker designers make and what that may mean to the end user.

There is no such thing as a speaker driver without trade offs. Some choices must be forsworn in exchange for another.

In the end, the materials used, magnet and motor structure, and crossover choices as well as the listening room come together to make a great speaker, of which there are many. In addition, we all listen for different things. Imaging, sweetness, warmth, detail, dance-ability and even efficiency so there is no single way to measure a driver and rate it against all others.

Also, please keep ads for your 4th dimensional sound or whatever off this thread. Thanks.

I had been audiophile for 40 years.

There are only two speakers that I had kept for more than 10 years.

The first one is Apogee Duetta Signature that I had used from 1988 to 1998.

I had been using Lansche Audio 4.1 since 2007.

This one is using Plasma active tweeter which is the best tweeter available right now.

This tweeter had me keeping Lansch Audio 4.1 for more than 11 years.
