The best tweeter design


Been giving some thought on the best tweeter design and I came up with the following list:

1) Plasma
2) Ribbon
3) Horn-loaded
4) Diamond dome
5) Ring radiator
6) Inverted dome

But since 1-3 are hard to implement or expensive most speakers start at #4, at best.

Thoughts?

The fact that I prefer line sources to point sources makes my choice of ESL’s and ribbons almost unavoidable. But then there are some loudspeakers with a long vertical row of dome tweeters, which creates a line source. I still prefer planar line sources.
