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.

Viawave SRT7 is the best ribbon available so that's what I will be using along with the Purfi 6.5 and revised crossover in the poured granite cabinets I have with externally tuned  brass connecting rods all mechanically grounded so resonance exits primarily in one direction, The floor..

I have common sense..look at all the magazines tests..of drivers not just this 1 of Russian origin but from all of Europe. We have these in a cast granite speaker now in duo with a Purifi 6.5 in driver and a unique crossover arrangement.
My co worker who has built this out thinks its special. Very simple crossover with high quality drivers and no corrective components in the signal path other than a very high quality resistor. Tom

George,

I bought these months ago.
About 300..back then if I remember correctly.. He sends you a matched pair with graphs. Crossover to the Purifi at 3k 1st order on this go around..which I am told is a keeper.
Much to do about the cabinet mechanical grounding..oh and the stands. Tom
