Seas Excel Diamond tweeter or Plasma?

Interested in building a speaker using, I think, the most expensive “conventional” tweeter available at $6k a pair for the Seas Diamond. I only want to use the best drivers available. TAD 15” woofer, ATC dome midrange and a great tweeter.
I well appreciate the art/science of speaker design working with an established Speaker designer.
Surely the enclosure and crossovers are critical. I lean toward the Diamond but not sure if the Plasma is better.

The plasma tweet is difficult to combine with ATC’s 75 unit -- mechanical compliance will be an issue, before even discussing electronic compatibility.If you wish to improve upon your Tetra, add low-frequency energy maybe even using a couple of 12-15" /channel in open baffle configuration. It will be a bear to cross, but you do say the designer is a master of crossovers.I would also play around with conventional tweeters, metallically coned rather than ceramic.

As a matter of curiosity, what’s wrong with your Tetra 606???
