I gre out of Be Tweeters

I may not like Bose products, but no one on earth spends more both on speaker analysis and marketing analysis than they do.

Like them or not, they are a model of having an engineering arm tightly coupled to consumer preference and experience.

I doubt if you can tell one decent tweeter from another if they are competently implemented.  Most audiophiles just can’t stand not changing things.

If you could afford it, diamond tweeters are probably the best. The one from Seas costs around $7K each. Ouch but I wish I could get my hands on a pair :-).

If not, then a high end soft dome from ScanSpeak or Seas can be very good. Good soft domes nowaday (those costing at least $200 or more) really offer the best of both worlds - speed, detail, but with the sweetness that we usually associate with typical soft domes. The ScanSpeak AirCir or Seas Crescendo are actually some of the best in the world. The Crescendo is a bout $350 each and the AirCir is about $200 - $350 depending on specific variation.

Ceramic tweeters may have a lot of details and may have less distortion but I don’t think they have the speed of the soft domes.

I haven’t heard Be dome personally but yeah people say they can have too much detail if not implemented properly.

A good tweeter can elevate the sound to another level.  Of course make sure you have some decent caps for the tweeter xover.

Change to Maggies and you will feel much better at the bar, I promise!

I have not heard a high end diamond tweeter, but in terms of distortion, dynamic range, lack of stored energy and smooth frequency response, the top end AMTs are world class in my mind.

I've also heard horrible AMTs so YMMV.

What is the bar for decent?  If most Be are decent, then yeah, I think you can hear the difference between the best and the decent.
