My speaker has an 8" beyma mid and Vifa BC25SC06-04 1" horn loaded tweeter. The tweeter sounds good in general, but gets a bit sharp and sad when playing very loud.
This speaker had a peerless horn loaded 1" tweeter previously and it worked better. I think that had 98-99dB (8 ohm).
Are there any good hi-fi horn loaded tweeters with >95dB efficiency around?
I am not looking to go in to compression drivers and so on.

Selenium used to make a couple of slot loaded tweeters which were inexpensive, and very nice sounding with a ring-phenolic diaphragm - moreso to my hearing than things like Polydax and Audax titanium diaphragm bullet tweeters. I don't know why they were discontinued. The ST324 was only around $25 US
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

You could try the above mentioned Vifa dual magnet ring radiator or one of the various SB Acoustic neo tweeters in a waveguide.

Compression drivers and whatnot aren't a bad way to go- do keep your options open. Impressive new compression driver from Peerless - Techtalk Speaker Building, Audio, Video Discussion Forum <$50 per maybe $60 with good quality but not outrageous crossover parts per side and 98 from 1300-16k.
