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’m a fan or the top Seas silk-dome tweeters used in, for example, Joseph Audio’s better speakers. They just sound very extended yet musical and natural to me.  I’ve heard metal/beryllium tweets in some of the best speakers in the world, and they just don’t work for me.
