Airmotion folded ribbon tweeters. Are they worth all the hype?

Seems like this design which is from the 1950's has been upgraded and is the latest trend in tweeters.....l heard them and they sound good. .........l dont think there going to make me upgrade my current speakers....any opinions on this would be appreciated. ...

The AMT tweeters in my GE Triton Reference speakers totally disappear as do the AMT tweeters in the GE Triton 1. Every reviewer has stated this regarding the GE speakers. Erik seems to be the only one who hates them for some reason.

I hate the GE speakers because the ones I have heard were bright, and ragged. The opposite of smooth and neutral.

But if you like the B&W sound, that's what they try to emulate. :)

They certainly sound NOTHING like a B&W which I hate. It is obvious you are biased against GE for some reason.  If they indeed sounded ragged, then it was something else in the chain.
