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 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

George,

I bought these months ago.
About 300..back then if I remember correctly.. He sends you a matched pair with graphs. Crossover to the Purifi at 3k 1st order on this go around..which I am told is a keeper.
Much to do about the cabinet mechanical grounding..oh and the stands. Tom

Im still holding Seas T29 Cresendo as Top  dawg.
Hey what about that recent Beryllium craze?
Is it still on??
My tech says he does not care for Be domes..ohh well his opinion is good nuf for me. 
I'm holding Seas Cresendo as Top Dawg to  beat.
basically the  T29CF002 is a **super** Millennium. 
Pricey as heck
thats for sure
Guess if you want the best, gotta pay up. 
= seas knows what they have
But they have nom idea their Millennium is wayyyyy over priced at 87db. Should be reduced to 1/2 asking price and get rid of that thing. DElete it.
It ONCE WAS a  great tweeter.

This is the new kid on the block and he means business.
Shot dead Kid Millennium  right through the center of the heart bulls eye.

WE all missed that one, 
 a good one

No I am sure Scanspeak offers some nice tweeters to match the Seas Cresendo.
I've always been a  fan of Seas, 
6 of one/half dozen the other. 
Not sure which Scan tweet matches the Seas Cresendo.
