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?

I believe Eldartford has the right idea.My favorite speakers have been those that used the "midrange" drivers in as wide a range as possible.Dynaudio 17W75s,Scanspeak 8545s,Peerless or Accutons.I used the Dynaudios(2) without a crossover.The Fontec 5" ribbon (6db/5Khz),taking advantage of the linear rolloff of the 6.5" drivers.Bass is handled via high-level inputs to a crossover \bass amp-roll them up until the foundation is established and adjust for phase displacement.The whole affair in an open-baffle.Nothing like boxless inclosures.
