The ribbon tweeters in the Magnepan 20.7's are very hard to beat, but I can't argue with the high end of the Sound Labs speaker. It is as natural and detailed as I have heard. IMHO point source tweeters make cymbals sound like castanets.
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.

The persona be tweeter is revealing without being bright or sibilant, same with the salon 2, the usher dmd, the be in the dsp 7200/8000se meridians is very good and Vienna Acoustics puts a beautiful sounding soft dome in the beethovens. For some reason the ribbon tweeters seem to distort before my hearing rolls off, maybe an off axis thing? |
Magnat MP-02 Plasma tweeters cannot be matched, not even by esl’s, the plasma gas is the diaphragm so there’s no mass, their FR is out to 1/2megahertz.!!! Ones with horns aren't quite as good, but still better than anything else. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Magnat-Plasma-MP-02-ion-tweeter-massless-air-plasma-speaker-Plasmahochto... Cheers George |
