What speaker has the best tweeter?


I love the AMT tweeters in my speakers. They are definitely different from other tweeters I have heard. I enjoy their openness and air. But there are qualities of other tweeters that excel in other ways. Some v pricy speakers use beryllium or diamond or diamond coated beryllium. I see that the price of, Seas I think, diamond tweeter is like $6K a pair. Then ribbons offer used. Not to mention plasma, etc.

My hunch it will present the best all around highs,
So tweeter choices? 
I have no idea,
Good luck with the search.

I have no idea,



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THat guy has no idea,
But I di, 
IMHO the world sbest tweeter , hands down 2md to none,
Is the Seas Cresendo, Troels pretty much says its the best tweeter he has ever worked with. 
~~~~~~~~~~92.5db sens~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/large_domes.htm

Troels mentions in brief the Exotic here as **too expesnive** somewhere else he mentions the Audax performs just as well, for alot less.
Not sure which Audax he is refering tl,
Now ck out the Seas T35002,
~~~~~~~~~~~~95dbsens~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$230
Not sure how i missed that one.
Thats super high sens, vs Cresendo’s 92.5
I’d go T35002 over the Cresendo for the added 2.5 sens gain.
+ $100 less per tweet.

EDIT
Looking over the graph/specs
I'd have to go T35002 over the Cresendo
T35002 goes down to 1500, = better xover pt for midwoofers  vs Cresendo's 2khz bottom(but has a  bit more extended high)
+  
Cresendo voice coil 26mm
vs
T35002's 35mm voice coil. 

***6 of one half dozen the other***
rixthetrick649 posts07-11-2021 8:09amSeas T35 exotic are pretty good value for money.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Would be great if we can have someone purchase both the Exotic and the Cresendo for a  shootout.
Exotic 94db, /old technology
Cresendo 92db/new technology
My bet is on the Cresendo, 
I think Troels mentions the Exotic somewhere on his pages, and says something to the effect that he found another  tweeter for alot less money,  (Not Seas) , that matched the Exotic,  thus making the Exotic not anything special.  
Cresendo and Exotic both priced the same.

How Can you ask a question like that
You should get 30 different
answers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
True
But the Seas T35002  has a  95db sensitivity,, = try to find a  tweeter than can beat that.
Lots of good tweeters , agree, But we are really after  only the best 5 of the hundreds avaliable.
I'd place the Seas T35002 at top of the top 5 list.
Goes down to 1500hz, and 95db, , NO other tweeter can match these specs.
The Cresendo is good, but only goes down to 2khz, and db is 92.5. T35002 is superior tweeter. 

Dynaudio Esotar, goes for like $2G's a  pair,, thats  a bit stiff for a   tweeter, But I must say, looks super high tech and impressive. 
WOW factor high,, But again, according to Troel's ideas, A tweeter should not add anything to the image.
I'd bet  on the Seas T35002 or Seas Cresendo, to come out as best performers in not adding anything  other than whats in the source recording. 

The Dynaudio Esotar is just too expensive, if we find out its doing exactly what either Seas' tweets are doing. = Not adding, not taking away. ,,,for alot less cash.

Are there better 3rd party published measurements?? Tom

https://hificompass.com/ru/reviews/viawave-srt-7

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are some folks who bought into this ~~Russian~~ THINGY
3rd party?
Try common sense.

Ancedotally, a  friend lent me a  pair of some 1980's AMT's, they were the ~~Rave~~. Same design concept, in oddly shaped black plastic boxes.
Sold for like $4G's. 

, Folks fell for the contraptions back then. Seems this russian thing is the new rave.
Im still holding Seas T29 Cresendo as Top  dawg.
Hey what about that recent Beryllium craze?
Is it still on??
My tech says he does not care for Be domes..ohh well his opinion is good nuf for me. 
I'm holding Seas Cresendo as Top Dawg to  beat.
basically the  T29CF002 is a **super** Millennium. 
Pricey as heck
thats for sure
Guess if you want the best, gotta pay up. 
= seas knows what they have
But they have nom idea their Millennium is wayyyyy over priced at 87db. Should be reduced to 1/2 asking price and get rid of that thing. DElete it.
It ONCE WAS a  great tweeter.

This is the new kid on the block and he means business.
Shot dead Kid Millennium  right through the center of the heart bulls eye.

Made exclusively of silk from free-range silkworms fed on organic, non-GMO mulberry leaves.

hahaha
WE all missed that one, 
 a good one

No I am sure Scanspeak offers some nice tweeters to match the Seas Cresendo.
I've always been a  fan of Seas, 
6 of one/half dozen the other. 
Not sure which Scan tweet matches the Seas Cresendo.
