What speaker has the best high frequencies?


I have a Spatial Audio X5 with a wide band horn loaded AMT (Air Motion Transformer) which handles high frequencies (1k and up?). It is big, about 6” x 1”. I feel it is much better than the 1” tweeter found in most speakers.  I honestly don’t know how this AMT is different from, say, ribbon tweeter.  This leads me to think, who or what speaker has the best high frequencies?  I heard good things about the B&W diamond tweeter, but it is still a 1” tweeter.  What else is out there?  I think size makes a difference.  In this case, is it a larger ribbing tweeter better than most 1” tweeters?

I've been following this thread with interest but waited to comment.  I was wondering when and if the Magnepan true ribbons would be mentioned.   I have never owned any of the top tier speakers.  I've auditioned just a few speakers that retail north of 10K.  So I'm not really in a position to speculate on "the best" tweeter.   But I will say without hesitation that the best tweeter I have heard is the Maggie true ribbon.  It is the one thing I really miss since moving away from Maggies.  The tweets in my MG 3.7s were heavenly.  They never got overly aggressive.  They were very resolving, free of grain and breakup, sweet as honey and smooth as silk.
