We spend too much time talking about tweeters

Cymbal and vibraphone notes decays and "auras" are a revelatory and unforgiven fact about all the audio system and his mechanical,electrical and acoustical embeddings not only tweeters....

But NO natural instrumental timbre experience is possible with "tweeters" done wrong or not enough refined even on the other end with a well embedded and a well chosen audio system....

I love to rap about tweeters its GREAT.

I think the Wilson inverted domes were terrible tweeters.

@thom_at_galibier_design ,

Your point on overtones, i.e. harmonic reflections of base notes is fundamental for not only defining timbre but also location in the soundstage. To wit: look at the astounding effect of supertweeters such as Murata or Townshend on the overall perception of bass (!) and soundstage.
