Are there any current production great speakers using AMT tweeters?


Back in the day, I had fallen in love with the ESS Heil AMT speakers, which were always too large and too expensive.    Now that I am looking for a new speaker, I am wondering if there are any current high end monitors that use these tweeters?  Or have good ribbons made the AMT tweeters less desirable?

My budget is in the $5k to $15k range, new or used, so don’t tell me about some of the $1k speakers that I know are out there, no matter how good they might be.

Stand mount is preferable, but a floor standing with a small footprint might be workable in my smallish room.

OP:  I built all my front speakers.  My L and R use mid-sized Mundort AMT’s which while I like have more than doubled in price when I bought them and the were expensive then!  There are many excellent tweeters at 1/8th the cost.

I have come to the conclusion that overall we spend too much money on tweeters , and they occupy too much of our headspace.   Even among this brand, which is still used by very expensive manufacturers, Mundorf makes some tweeters with resonances that need to be carefully handled.  That a speaker uses this same model, or brand of tweeter does not immediately buy a recommendation from me. 

ScanSpeak for instance makes excellent mid and high end ring radiators.  Some of my favorite speakers are the Fritz 2-ways with the high end SS rings.  Really amazingly musical and smooth., 

I have the BMR bookshelves from Philharmonic.  I find them very detailed with the AMT tweeter without being harsh.  Its one of the better 3-way bookshelf speakers and punch above their price point.  I power them with a Purifi amp and it seems to be a very good paring.
