The best tweeter design

Been giving some thought on the best tweeter design and I came up with the following list:

1) Plasma
2) Ribbon
3) Horn-loaded
4) Diamond dome
5) Ring radiator
6) Inverted dome

But since 1-3 are hard to implement or expensive most speakers start at #4, at best.

Thoughts?

Plasma tweeters excite air movement directly, with no mass. The sound is the purest you have ever heard. The only downside is cost.
Don't forget the health hazards too. :D

The new plasma tweeters have catalysts that convert Ozone back to Oxygen - so no need for Helium tanks or gas masks :)

Atmasphere,

Is that a field coil tweeter? seems like they use the very same principle as the tweeters sold by radio shack some years ago..

Lineaum I believe was the name....
