Ring radiator tweeters - the future?


A technology developed by Scanspeak that hasn't penetrated the audiophile market, but Polk started using them - and their fans say it produces better high end within the same price range. A brief froogle reveals JBL offers them as components. Could this technology end the perpetual silk dome vs. titanium dome debate?

Bombaywalla, if you think the Vifa ring tweeter in the Polk Audio's sounds "tizzy" you need your ears checked bro, or perhaps the amplifier and source were not up to par. The LSi's have a very laid back presentation, its the exact opposite of "tizzy"
Bombaywalla, It's not even a question of wheather somebody likes the speaker, its just I don't know how your so off on the tweeters description. I mean, most people consider it one of the warmest, most laid back tweeters. Krell, Audio Physic, Polk Audio LSi...perhaps it wasn't an LSi series I don't know...but it's so far on the other spectrum...I simply don't undertsand the "sharpness" your talking about.
