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.

@mozartfan - my old boss makes a two way with the Seas T35 and Peerless 8" with a modified baffle (T35 baffle in solid copper) in a two way floor stander - exceptional!

Mike Lenehan is developing a stand mount two way using the Purifi 6.5" and Morel ST728 (which is right up there with the T35 in SQ).

Fortunately I have been introduced by some newer electrical components by members here in Agon that I have passed on to Mike. MCoil VLCU for one. Thanks ricevs for that pearl!

We’re in discussions on entirely building these new speakers in the USA, out of American hard woods laminated with other materials, including metals and phenolic for an inert enclosure. With built in TMD (tunes mass dampers) to work alongside isolation technology ie. springs.

Dynaudio Esotar, goes for like $2G's a  pair,, thats  a bit stiff for a   tweeter, But I must say, looks super high tech and impressive. 
WOW factor high,, But again, according to Troel's ideas, A tweeter should not add anything to the image.
I'd bet  on the Seas T35002 or Seas Cresendo, to come out as best performers in not adding anything  other than whats in the source recording. 

The Dynaudio Esotar is just too expensive, if we find out its doing exactly what either Seas' tweets are doing. = Not adding, not taking away. ,,,for alot less cash.

There are some folks who bought into this ~~Russian~~ THINGY
3rd party?
Try common sense.

Ancedotally, a  friend lent me a  pair of some 1980's AMT's, they were the ~~Rave~~. Same design concept, in oddly shaped black plastic boxes.
Sold for like $4G's. 

, Folks fell for the contraptions back then. Seems this russian thing is the new rave.

I have common sense..look at all the magazines tests..of drivers not just this 1 of Russian origin but from all of Europe. We have these in a cast granite speaker now in duo with a Purifi 6.5 in driver and a unique crossover arrangement.
My co worker who has built this out thinks its special. Very simple crossover with high quality drivers and no corrective components in the signal path other than a very high quality resistor. Tom
