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.

I’m not in the market for another speaker. Have my destination system including my speakers. Just wondering about the performance of different tweeters.

Those plasmas look excellent. Then there is the v important issue of the crossover. And already $4500 why $600 for shipping?I guess a/the major thing is how light the moving elements are.
So, nothing compares with light as air.

George,
What have you used the PT with?

My Tetra 606 speakers use a Mundorf bi polar AMT tweeter.
(and an ATC dome midrange)
They are very open and airy.

I used to use a Tannoy super tweeter with my Tannoy Westminster Royals. Even though the st’s frequencies were far beyond my hearing, the st had a significant effect on the lower frequencies.
Think the nodal points became more pronounced.
