What speaker has the best tweeter?

I love the AMT tweeters in my speakers. They are definitely different from other tweeters I have heard. I enjoy their openness and air. But there are qualities of other tweeters that excel in other ways. Some v pricy speakers use beryllium or diamond or diamond coated beryllium. I see that the price of, Seas I think, diamond tweeter is like $6K a pair. Then ribbons offer used. Not to mention plasma, etc.

I have no doubt there may be better tweeters out there.  For now I am thrilled with the sealed ribbon of Raidho's D series speakers, and it far exceeds (IMO) the Esotar II I had previously in a Dyn model.

@ htd1   Both my Legacy Focus and Signature III speakers have the same tweeter layout as Dali.  Soft dome lower tweeter and ribbon upper tweeter.  Blended beautifully.  Now Legacy uses dual ribbon tweeters.  Not to my liking as much.

I used to use a Tannoy super tweeter with my Tannoy Westminster Royals. Even though the st’s frequencies were far beyond my hearing, the st had a significant effect on the lower frequencies.
Think the nodal points became more pronounced.
