Suppose it's time to stop following this thread, as it has now been fully hijacked with self-promotion. FWIW, though I have not heard the new Monitor Audio speakers, I have much experience with Heil-based AMT tweeters, used in ADAM speakers in my studio setup. They are quite good, very honest and detailed without sounding harsh, but IMHO don't present the delicacy, air, sweetness and dimensionality I hear in the Raidho tweeter. I suppose we all hear differently, and this being a hobby for enjoyment, we should all listen for ourselves and decide what sounds best to us, in our room, and what we are willing to pay, for what are sometimes small yet important improvements.
Radios aren't for everyone, and require a certain setup to sound their best. If your room requires a near field setup, they excel. Many of us buy used and if we aren't fully satisfied, or later find something we like better, and have some extra disposable income, we sell what we've got at a loss and upgrade. Sometimes we get lucky and sometimes not. I feel lucky to have found Raidhos. They work for me and are worth the price of admission (used). Are the D2s my last speaker? Who knows. But they sound better, to me, in my room than the YGs they replaced, and better than my previous Peak Consult, Piega, Genesis or Selah line arrays.
Every speaker, and every component, has trade-offs. For example, I can live with a rising top (I'm getting older and my hearing there is diminishing) but could never live with over-ripe mid bass. To each their own. We can benefit from each other's experiences, on forums such as these, but we can't hear for each other...
