I have experienced many things in my life, but this has redefined what a tweeter can do:Altec 288-16H a la naturelle.... (no horn attached, fire it up to the ceiling).
2Tesla alnico motor driving the diaphragm to less than 0,9mm at peak excursion. At 100dB/m volume the diaphragm moves only a few microns, giving absolutely distortion-free sound, while virtually all tweeters already are into very high distortion at this level. Also, you get that 100dB/m output from 42milliWatts of driving power! Leaving an 1W amp still massively oversized... hey, bring out your 0,5W amplifiers! :)
