What speaker has the best tweeter?

I love the AMT tweeters in my speakers. They are definitely different from other tweeters I have heard. I enjoy their openness and air. But there are qualities of other tweeters that excel in other ways. Some v pricy speakers use beryllium or diamond or diamond coated beryllium. I see that the price of, Seas I think, diamond tweeter is like $6K a pair. Then ribbons offer used. Not to mention plasma, etc.

No such thing as best, each design is unique.
in a AMT tweeter the Beyma is probably the best .
Accuton has the great $2k Diamond ceramic tweeters ,
Plasma tweeters are very unique and great ,but need to be recharged every4-5 years ,MBL 101 Omni directional speaker 
great in that application , then custom dome tweeters  that have their own attributes several very good brands ,
and some very good Ribbon tweeters . That’s my opinion .

Multiple tweeters unless of very high quality, and matched to within 1db and be $1-200+ each then  they are subject to multiples of HF distortion ,that is why 
you don’t see them in any high end designs ,or very rare.
