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!

I think many of us have lost hearing in the high frequency ranges.  Depending on the level of hearing loss, some choose brighter tweeters to hear some of the higher frequencies they have lost.  Perhaps, this is why there is such a variety of speaker using different tweeters.  It also depends on the kind of music you listen.  Perhaps, it would be interesting to know what speakers produce the best balanced and neutral sound.  If you listen to classical or operas you are going to want to hear the artist more.
