Maybe we can agree that a tweeter that goes in when it should go out is not great ?????
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 tamed the Heils and they sound great with plenty of top end extension. I use them in a 2.5 way with JBL 2241H 18" and JBL 2251J 10". My own design crossovers. I created acoustic lenses for them and insert a piece of foam to the rear to reduce reflections improving imaging. Here you see the RTA on the couch where I sit. There is no eq or digital processing of any kind being used here nor is the room acoustically treated in any way Curve is actually a bit smoother at the top than shown due to additional crossover mods I’ve made since. Ignore the "floor/wall bounce depressions" at the low end. Note this is ~+-5 dBA from ~32 Hz to beyond audibility (with a nice smooth curve) on the couch with no eq or room correction being used! And no woofer foams to ever replace. http://www.audioheritage.org/photopost/data//500/medium/DSC_001011.JPG http://www.audioheritage.org/photopost/data//500/medium/DSC_00171.JPG http://www.audioheritage.org/photopost/data//500/medium/DSC_00151.JPG http://www.audioheritage.org/photopost/data//500/medium/DSC_00122.JPG Take a listen: https://youtu.be/JpjCAtrBjTI https://youtu.be/qzjztUEy2V8 |
