What is your favorite type of tweeter?


It seems to me that 98% of speakers under $1000/pr use dome tweeters, 95% of speakers under $5000/pr use domes, 92% of speakers under $10000/pr use domes, and 90% of speakers over $10000/pr use domes. Do those stats seem reasonable?

If a manufacturer were designing a new loudspeaker at a $5K or $10K price point, would there be a bias in favor of domes, in order to stick with a known, familiar entity, or a bias away from domes, in order to create interest and set oneself apart from the competition?

This forum does not have a "Poll" function, so I can't ask everyone to vote for their favorite type of tweeter. But I will be grateful for any comments.

javachip, a great tweeter is still only as good as the circuit design and components that precede it.

v, my point was centered around the fact that even the very best of the best can sound poorly if used improperly or with poor parts in the circuit. i am sure you have heard a few of these yourself.
i know many diyers that would surprize you. they have me.
