Best Tweeter for DIY project

Hello: I am completing a speaker project right now with the Raven R1 (older version). So far the results are mixed with the sound very clear and extended, but a little bright for my tastes. However, it may be a midrange problem more than a tweeter problem. Yes, the output is very high, but with the correct L-pad, you can control the level fairly easily. I have tried multiple crossover slopes from 6db to 36 db and from frequencies from 2000hz to 4000hz with good results. The tweeter seems to have an unlimited output that can take more power than I can. I've noticed that some very high priced speakers feature this tweeter. Raven also makes two larger ribbons that can handle the midrange also, but are very pricey.

I would say your initial results are encouraging. Especially, in light of how different a driver this is. Integration is more difficult than with a simple cone(especially) or dome tweeter. An L pad is a good start. But, once you nail the correct resistance value down, a good Ohmite(or like) 10W wirewound resistor will sound much better. Will even tame some of the brightness, if the tweeter is at all responsible. Have you tried running the tweeter without a capacitor in series? It seems that this may be one instance where the driver is well suited to handling all that is incoming. At least, it could be tried. Which midrange are you using? The crossover will take some balancing to keep the tweeter and midrange from outrunning each other. Good luck, and please keep us informed
