Best high end monitors?

Looks like a derivative of tweeter, probably many times more reliable, since the old lineaum tweeter did not last long and had problems with distortion. As this company had 2 patents on the tweeter,they did make a headway with the technology.

Another fine monitor is the AAD 7001

Jls3, HEA acknowledges that the tweeter looks similar, but insists that that the basic operating principle is quite different, hence their patent in the area. They also have a patent on the manufacturing process. I have spoken to the designer- the tweeter is about 97 db on its own. There are actually two of them integrated into the tweeter module- one front firing and one to the rear.

It is very fast, faster than any conventional dome tweeter, yet fails to draw attention to itself. Frankly, after living with this speaker, its hard to take other monitor-sized speakers seriously, price no object. It really is one of the best ones out there.

let's add the new magnepan speaker that was introduced at the show 2009.

A great monitor but needs a lot of power.
