Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why?


This is bugging me. Just as I think I have the

right answer it slips through my fingers. 

 

Let's not consider cost in this opinion poll.

 

For example-

Pick one of the types of tweeters

Choice- Planar Ribbon

Reason-Low moving mass and larger surface area vs domes.

 

Everyone should have an opinion here unless they are relatively new to the game.

Lets see if we all learn something new!

Wow there are some very specific choices here-Thanks!

I should have specified that I am looking for  tweeters that

will work in a box speaker environment.

And thanks to all who had a reason why they preferred what

they chose. Without that the opinion is less useful.

Thanks!

Musadd- Funny  you should land on the sealed planar ribbon tweeters 

as your flavor. I find the Borresen speakers to be the best sound I've

heard- and by a pretty good margin. 

Danger-Danger!- Nelson Pass loves to tell the story about his Plasma

speakers which nearly killed him. 

Well now this is getting good!!

Thank you all!!

 

Orf- At what frequency does a tweeter become  a super tweeter?

 

ggc- Was that Omni used is the Euro Elac line or the USA?

-Is the Corona Plasma Tweeter a thing of the past or still used?
