Great topic! I have found that often, the best tweeter is the one that most closely matches the rest of the drivers sonically, and perhaps, in material type as well. Ribbon tweeters definitely have a certain wide dispersion magic.
To my ear, I have found a lot of tweeters "ring" - especially the earlier beryllium tweeters. It's that ringing that can cause real problems for someone with sensitive hearing or tinnitus.
I like a properly designed horn tweeter myself. I also like the diamond tweeters, but my understanding is that they are "heavy" and cause the speaker to be less efficient.
I would like to hear the Lansche speakers with the plasma tweeter again. That's an interesting design for sure.
