I have always had a soft spot for the Heil tweeter. It hasn't made its way into many commercial designs, I suspect because it's very hard to make a crossover to match it well to a cone woofer. The Oskar speakers are exceptional for their highs IMHO.
What is your favorite type of tweeter?
It seems to me that 98% of speakers under $1000/pr use dome tweeters, 95% of speakers under $5000/pr use domes, 92% of speakers under $10000/pr use domes, and 90% of speakers over $10000/pr use domes. Do those stats seem reasonable?
If a manufacturer were designing a new loudspeaker at a $5K or $10K price point, would there be a bias in favor of domes, in order to stick with a known, familiar entity, or a bias away from domes, in order to create interest and set oneself apart from the competition?
This forum does not have a "Poll" function, so I can't ask everyone to vote for their favorite type of tweeter. But I will be grateful for any comments.
