Earthquake are you leaning toward a specific speaker;if so you might want to ask questions about that speaker or specific driver and the electronics you are using. I think you will get better responses from people who have what you may be considering and this will give you more information to help you get what the speaker or driver can and cannot do |
That zaphaudio list is interesting. Zaph also did a test of ribbon type tweeters that concluded that they tested relatively poorly. A $29 vifa dome outperformed 4 out of 5 on paper. Cant remember what manufacturer I read recently using two domes to replicate the dispersion pattern without using ribbons. I have speakers with ribbon type "isodynamic" hivi tweeters and I think the high end sounds very nice. Silk, fabric, metal domes, or ribbon tweeters, I think the crossover and overall design of a speaker has more to do with the sound. My advise is pay less attention to the type of tweeter, and listen without bias. Your ears will find the speaker a talented designer has made for your tastes. |
