Raven vs Heil Vs compression driver

ailouros6 · 10th December 2008, 11:26 AM

Hi

I am searching for the best possible tweeter to accompany the 208es beyond 8000Hz.

I am between these three options

Heil AMT1
Raven 1
compression driver+tractrix(BMS4550 maybe?)

What s the most promissing option?

I do not want any harsh highs.Yet i want realistic dynamics

Which way do i go?

Thanks

Hi
I don't really care,because of biamp.i will match the drivers using two amps.Yet i want above 96db

How about the OEM RAAL?

Solen and Madisound sell these drivers.

If you do a search on this site or on google you will find glowing comments about the RAAL ribbons.

Above 9 kHz? Any expensive tweeter (like the three you posted) is a waste of money even if you look for the best possible one.
