Best Tweeter for DIY project


I am looking for one of the smoothest, silkiet, and unfatiguing tweeters out there...any suggestions?...Would ribbon tweeter be better?

Hello: I am completing a speaker project right now with the Raven R1 (older version). So far the results are mixed with the sound very clear and extended, but a little bright for my tastes. However, it may be a midrange problem more than a tweeter problem. Yes, the output is very high, but with the correct L-pad, you can control the level fairly easily. I have tried multiple crossover slopes from 6db to 36 db and from frequencies from 2000hz to 4000hz with good results. The tweeter seems to have an unlimited output that can take more power than I can. I've noticed that some very high priced speakers feature this tweeter. Raven also makes two larger ribbons that can handle the midrange also, but are very pricey.
