AMTs can be problematic to crossover and flatten out, they are generally considered to be superior to ribbons as they are super fast, and the Heils can crossover at 800hz. I recently purchased their latest ESS AMT 1D Revival speakers. They have none for sale currently, I don't know if they will be in production again or not. I upgraded and or bypassed components in the crossovers. While the improvements were seriously good, I'm virtually never content with good in audio, so I built new crossovers without the variable l pads and such. They sound amazing. You may want to check out the Qualio IQ Ultras. They gave Steve Huff "earganisms", his word.
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.
