AMT Tweeters integration


Hello,

I'm looking for a pair of floorstanding speakers in the $2500-4500 range. Since they will be driven by a 70-wpc integrated tube amplifier, my options are limited to efficient loudspeakers (ideally above 88db); additionally, I lean towards a musical-warm sound (Sonus Faber, Dynaudio).

Aside from Revival Audio and Dyaudio, most of the speakers I'm considering have AMT tweeters (Dali, Whafedale, etc.).

So, wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to compare both configurations (3-way regular drivers vs 3-way regular drivers plus AMT tweeter).

My main concern is that, at this price range, the integration of the AMT tweeter with the other drivers might not be well executed, and that the overall sound presentation may be perceived as if there were two pairs of separate speakers, one pair doing the low and mid frequencies and a second pair doing the high frequency.

Please let me know your thoughts, much appreciated it,

Thanks,

Thank you all for the advice. Sorry I was not clear; I meant the intergation of the AMT tweeters in a final product, I don't intend to buy AMT drivers and built my own speakers.

At this moment I am torn between regular drivers (Dyanaudio Evoke 30, Revival Audio Atalante 4) on one side and AMTs (Dali Opticon 6 MK2 and Wharfedale Aura 3) on the other.

Either, I don't mind buying used; but, as I said, given my tube amplifier, need to choose within efficient ones.

I don't care for my AMTs on my tube amp (80 wpc KT88s).  It rolls off the high end too much for my taste

 

As for efficiency, the ESS Great Heil is up in the 90s and I run mine with JBL 10" and 18" drivers and still pad them down a bit.
