I am looking for one of the smoothest, silkiet, and unfatiguing tweeters out there...any suggestions?...Would ribbon tweeter be better?

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
