There are too many good and bad implementations of each of these materials. I have heard incredible Beryllium tweeters and painfully bright ones. I have heard awful diamond tweeters, I have heard brilliant. Same with ribbons, ceramic, aluminum, AMTs, etc. There is not best material. The total system drives the greatness or mediocrity of a speaker.
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!
