Tweeters


Specifics of audio are new to me. Can someone comment about the various tweeters and what distinguishes them from one another in terms of sound, quality, etc...
Thank you.

That zaphaudio list is interesting. Zaph also did a test of ribbon type tweeters that concluded that they tested relatively poorly. A $29 vifa dome outperformed 4 out of 5 on paper. Cant remember what manufacturer I read recently using two domes to replicate the dispersion pattern without using ribbons.
I have speakers with ribbon type "isodynamic" hivi tweeters and I think the high end sounds very nice. Silk, fabric, metal domes, or ribbon tweeters, I think the crossover and overall design of a speaker has more to do with the sound.
My advise is pay less attention to the type of tweeter, and listen without bias. Your ears will find the speaker a talented designer has made for your tastes.
