How Many Tweeters Does A Speaker Need??

.
The $200k Magico Q7 has one tweeter. The $40k Zu Dominance has two tweeters. The $200k Genesis 1.2 has about 20 tweeters. The big Wilson flagships have two tweeters. I'm sure at 750 pounds and $200k, the Magico can fill a very large room with sound. If that's so, why does another speaker need two, three or twenty tweeters in one speaker?

The only reason I see for having more tweeters is to have more output and effectively lower the stress on each driver. But there are a number of issues that are created by running two drivers with the same frequency range.

plenty of speakers with NO tweeters ... depends on the designer and their goals

in general, most designers only add tweeters to balance sensitivity differences between midrange and high frequencies.
