What are Your Favorite Tweeters?

Does anyone have experience with ring tweeters?  Can you offer some impressions?

The Boressen tweeter I have heard is from the small 2-way and is a ribbon tweeter. And yes it sounds amazing. Is there a way to buy
one for under $33K?

The tweeter that impressed me the most was one that seemed to not be there at all--it was so smooth and unobtrusive and high frequencies were present without calling attention to their presence.  The tweeter is a G.I.P Laboratories reproduction of the Western Electric 597 tweeter (field coil compression tweeter with a horn).  It sounded at least as good as the original 597 tweeters that I've heard.  The big downside is that both original and G.I.P. reproductions are quite expensive.  I briefly heard the G.I.P. 9501 tweeter (original design, not a reproduction) that is based on the 597, but, it was in a custom built system that had not yet been properly tuned, so I cannot say if this tweeter is even better; it is certainly much more expensive at $60,000 for the pair.

Aurum Cantus any of them. AMT or ribbons, wonderful drivers.

Borresen’s tweeter is amazing in terms of speed and resolution.  Natural timbre, very smooth yet crisp.  I have yet to hear anything like it.

The Dynaudio ESOTAR and ESOTEC cloth dome tweeters are used by many high end speaker manufactures and is one of the sweetest and delicate sounding tweeters I have ever heard. Also, The tweeter used in the EPOS ES22's or ES11's is a very very good tweeter, 25mm aluminum dome that never sounds harsh or metallic.

Fuzztone: I will second that! The Janszen D-130 is a remarkable add-on electrostatic tweeter. Popularly used back in the day with AR and KLH box speakers. I own a pair!

The cone-shaped Walsh tweeter atop the Infinity Monitor speaker from the mid-70's. An omni that had the best room-filling dispersion! I owned a pair way back then. Now I have another pair to use!
