Do You Have a Preferred Tweeter Type?
When it comes to tweeters, domes have long been the most popular variety in consumer applications. First released to consumers in 1958, with soft-dome tweeters arriving nine years later in 1967, they were a huge step up from the cone tweeters of the time.
Also, a lot smaller than the compression-driver horn tweeters, a technology introduced by Western Electric that’s been around since 1926. But it was the Lansing Iconic that brought the compression driver tech home. JBL uses it, so does Klipsch.
Then there’s the ribbons, full ribbon and quasi-ribbons, including the sub-sect of AMT (air-motion transformer) aka folded-ribbon tweeters. Of course that’s not all, there’s planar-magnetic, electrostatic, plasma/flame, and the inimitable (thanks to patents) MBL Radialstrahler.
I’m sure there’s other tweeter types that deserve mention, if I missed it please add it in the comments.
This is all setup for the question: Do you have a preferred tweeter type? If so, what is it, and what speaker do you own or seek to buy that uses that type of tweeter?
