What's With the Ring Radiator Tweeter?

I see the new and somewhat new Sonus Fabers using ring radiators along with some other companies (I think Onix does, too). What is this tweeter and why Sonus is going with it? I think I read in a thread here somewhere that the radiator is a little sterile sounding. I only heard it on the Sonus Cremona stand mount and (with all Linn equipment) it did sound kind of peaky, like maybe too much info being too prominent.

I'm not sure which one(s) are used by Sonus Faber but I'm curious as to the design, how they are constructed, etc. Also curious as to any experience with them in specific speakers.

That certainly provides a lot of info, but I wonder if anyone knows what material(s) are used in making them. I've always been a big believer that materials always inpart their own sound in speakers - metal tends to sound like metal, plastic to sound like plastic, etc. That's why I've liked silk tweeters and carbon fiber woofers. What exactly is the sound of silk or carbon fiber?
