We spend too much time talking about tweeters


I do it too. I'm guilty.

Just saying.  85% of the sound out of a speaker if not 95% is not in the tweeter, but the marketing people have us talking more about them than anything else.

The tweeter gives everything its definition, presence, air and dimensionality. Texture, tone, instrument voicing and placement are all defined by the tweeter. Maggie’s ribbon and B&W’s Diamonds excel in these areas...the tone deaf or the high frequency challenged need not agree. Worst tweeter designs I’ve heard are ribbons...sand paper comes to mind!
Esotar II ‘s were very nice in my C5’s....WILSON inverted domes kicked butt.  Diamonds just allow so much definition through, even on Alto saxophone it just completes the tone and texture in a way I haven’t heard with other tweeters!
