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 also favor the ESS AMT, but have made substantial modifications to mine to get them where I like them and to maximize their detail, soundstage, and imaging.

I have never heard anything better than a plasma tweeter.

It’s hard to beat a speaker diaphragm that has no mass.

Lansche Audio uses them to great effect, as does Acapella Audio Arts in the horns.

My current speakers use an Aurum Cantus AST2560 AMT tweeter, a folded ribbon. Which is fantastic.
