Interesting link regarding tweaks to make the AMT drivers sound better and blend more smoothly with woofers and mids. Paul McGowan at PS Audio says he has a long history with the AMT, dating back to its original release. He also reports that he tried to make an AMT work well for the Aspen line of speakers, but the planar tweeter and midrange developed by Chris Brunhaver proved to sound better than the AMT.
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.
