Best tweeter what can be filtered at 1 kHz

If you use a very steep crossover and don't have high output requirements, something like this might be worth considering.

Keep in mind that smaller standard drivers are inherently going to have output limitations as frequency decreases. And as Zaph's measurements of other tweeters show, some with low resonance have poor distortion performance significantly above resonance, so don't go by resonance alone if you are looking for high performance.

Had anybody experience with tweeter what can be filtered at 1 kHz?
I know one, Dayton AMTPRO-4, but is is too big.
I need to fit it to smaller space, good if it is some type of ribbon but also dome type options can be suggested.

No, use it same as McIntosh did with mirror image line arrays.

Not per se as I either used horns, short arrays or 'full range' drivers, which there are many small ones nowadays.

fs 425 Hz but unfortunately recommend operated frequency range from 2500 Hz.
Unwanted power compression effects even present, when music isn't very loud from operating frequency from 1 KHz - even if the crossover network slope is 36db/oct. An alternative could be full range drivers in small sizes (e. g. FOSTEX FE series).

The Wavecor TW030A11 (4 Ohm) might be a possibility. It's a 30 mm tweeter in a waveguide (115 mm flange diameter) so it might be too large. Otherwise it might fit your needs. Here's the spec sheet: http://www.wavecor.com/html/tw030wa11_12.html. Here's the max SPL based on Sd and Xmax:

If you keep listening levels sane, the Tymphany DX25BG60 will do what you need with a steep filter as will either Peerless Corundum domes. SBAcoustics SB29 can do it too…..I’ve crossed at 1.2khz 2nd order with no ill effects.

If wide off axis listening isn’t critical, a 3” fullrange driver is probably the better choice here…..Tymphany TC or TG9 and Faital Pro 3FE

Level and distortion allow 1 kHz cut, but size is to big, outer diameter and magnet need to be smaller.
