confused - type of tweeters?

honda_pwer · 15th May 2004, 01:16 AM

Im buying some speakers for DJing and I was told to stay away from piezo tweeters. I've read some about them, but what is really so bad about them and what is better? are titanium tweeters better?

These are the two speakers Ive been looking at and I cant decide because Im worried about tweeters (should I be worried), which looks better?

As stated proper magnetic compression drivers are better than piezo's.
