Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why?


This is bugging me. Just as I think I have the

right answer it slips through my fingers. 

 

Let's not consider cost in this opinion poll.

 

For example-

Pick one of the types of tweeters

Choice- Planar Ribbon

Reason-Low moving mass and larger surface area vs domes.

 

Everyone should have an opinion here unless they are relatively new to the game.

Lets see if we all learn something new!

Do this simple exercise.  Disconnect the mid and bass drivers leaving only the tweeter.  Play some music.  It's impossible to tell if the tweeter is good or not.  Meaning one can only tell how good a tweeter is once it is integrated to the rest of the speakers.
