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.

Seas T35 exotic are pretty good value for money.
It’s ALL about the design and the crossover, using the right tweeter in a given design.
Matching drivers, using their strengths and relying on crossover points to diminish the limitations in a process of matching them together to form a cohesive voicing of a speaker - that’s art!


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.
I'd like to know what that is? Not the Morel ST728?
I'll have to check out the Cresendo, thanks (thumbs up)
@mozartfan - my old boss makes a two way with the Seas T35 and Peerless 8" with a modified baffle (T35 baffle in solid copper) in a two way floor stander - exceptional!

Mike Lenehan is developing a stand mount two way using the Purifi 6.5" and Morel ST728 (which is right up there with the T35 in SQ).

Fortunately I have been introduced by some newer electrical components by members here in Agon that I have passed on to Mike. MCoil VLCU for one. Thanks ricevs for that pearl!

We’re in discussions on entirely building these new speakers in the USA, out of American hard woods laminated with other materials, including metals and phenolic for an inert enclosure. With built in TMD (tunes mass dampers) to work alongside isolation technology ie. springs.
