Slappy, this may seen like a put-on but it's not: I have heard, and seen, tweeters that glow. The Hill Plasmatronics speakers from the '70s used ionized Helium to produce sound. Sounded wonderful but required a big tank of Helium. Not many wives would put up with a big green tank. Back in the '50s there was the Dukane Ionovac tweeter, which ionized air rather than Helium. These also glowed but the electrodes wore down quickly in the presence of Oxygen. This is why Dr. Hill used Helium. Besides which, when one got tired of listening one could talk like Alvin The Chipmonk.
