Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why?


This is bugging me. Just as I think I have the

right answer it slips through my fingers. 

 

Let's not consider cost in this opinion poll.

 

For example-

Pick one of the types of tweeters

Choice- Planar Ribbon

Reason-Low moving mass and larger surface area vs domes.

 

Everyone should have an opinion here unless they are relatively new to the game.

Lets see if we all learn something new!

I run a  pair of tweeters with my dual FR, Wonderfullll, Never would go back to a single tweeter. 

About to experiment with a  trio of tweeters, But I think 1 will  be edge out by the 2 superior tweeters.

I note someone mentioned Seas tweeters, Seas are too low senstivitity,

Even their Crescendo rated 92db, I found in actual tests to be like 84db, IF THAT. 

A single tweeter in classical music just is too thin. Dual tweeters are a  winner

Thanks Eric. I do get the impression that Audiogon can be unfriendly to manufacturers so I usually stay away even though we pay quite a bit to advertise on this site.

We always welcome visitors for a listen, buyers or not, no pressure here. We like to share. How often do you come across a tall open baffle true line array speaker that can play clearly to high SPLs with 1.5 watt SET tube amps?

danager, Sorry, no. The only place, at this point, to hear them is at our showroom in Charlotte, NC.
