What are Your Favorite Tweeters?

Hi All.  I would like to extend the survey that occurred back in 2008-2012 about favorite tweeter types.  During that survey, folks mentioned: Gallo CDT, various ribbon tweeters (RAAL, Kapton, Legacy), Fostex, Dynaudio Esotar, Heil, Seas Millenium, and various exotics (electrostatic, plasma, compression driver).  I am wondering about ring tweeters, such as the Satori TW29R or the Scanspeak Revelator. I am (personally) looking for something that can fit into a 104mm diameter lip.  But for the big picture, I'd like to know what tweeters you have loved!  I've got Accuton diamond tweeters in my Avalon Eidelons, and I think they are quite delicate and natural sounding.

Does anyone have experience with ring tweeters?  Can you offer some impressions?

I quite liked the vifa ring tweeters on the polk lsi9...

Im a fan of ribbons, beryllium and soft domes.

monitor Audio Ribbon tweeters are nice!

I've used Morel and still do on QSO 808 and as a HF driver along with a UHF ribbon on a pair of RSIIbs. 

1. I've never blown one.

2. They (Morel) are one of the best Ring and Softdomes around... Good to over 22khz. 2500 to 22,000, NO sibilance like some planars/ribbons. Expensive though..

Perhaps the plasma (?) used in the Lansche speakers. I tend to like soft domes in a more conventional design.

I never heard the Boressen; now I am interested in hearing something with that tweeter.

Another tweeter that I've heard in a terrific sounding system is the Murata supertweeter.
