Kef vented tweeter


I am always interested in new technologies that can make a difference  and I found this interesting.

It seems to be reasonable explanation of what I hear that is quite unique with the kef ls50s ie very high transient detail which seems to help make instruments sound eerily and uniquely real with these speakers.

Yes I can hear a similarity with Focals I have heard. B&W Nautilus is pricey.

What other tweeter designs address this particular issue I wonder? Any similar to KEF with concentric driver design? I like that for coherent sound as well especially when speakers are not far from listening position.

What speakers in similar price range as these KEFs  use "Open back AMT"? I’ve heard Goldenears using folded ribbon tweets...very smooth.

My first good speakers 40+ years ago were Lafayettes with Heil AMTs I coveted at the time. Smooth but could not keep those heils from getting fried regularly way back then.

The more I read the more the Uni-q design in general strikes me as a quite unique winning one.
