TeXtreme is more neutral and transparent in comparison with PP.
None of TX tweeters I heard doesn't sound like a true ceramic tweeter (Accuton).
Ceramic is more fast, solid and transparent. TeXtreme is softer, smooth and more relaxing. The TX timbre is warmer, the ceramic one is colder
Wish SB would offer ceramic Satori tweeter and mid
They do make them for marten.

I know it's not real ceramic cones like the one accuton use but it's the same "ceramic" cones they use in their CAC lineup.
Ceramic Satori would bankrupt Accuton real quick
Is Peerless going to be available to DIYers again? That would be very good news.
Not all, few models for the moment are coming back, look at PE... Soundimports, etc. For some models we don't know yet if a MOQ applies.
But for how long? They got so unreliable ... absolute no go for a project you want to maintain for a few years.
Notice the Be could be even more problematic being produced in USA.
Price is stupdly high from the driver brands as some know it was so not expensive from Materion.
Dickason said Be sounds warmer than Textrene. Many diyers say Textrene sound more dark and natural with lack of sparkle for the rock or brass instruments.
Not saying some are ring dome, some not.
Hard to have an real idea from the readings and even harder to buy them all. Hete in France, the Biesma have raised their prices to the point they risk to loose their customers.

Be is too expensive
Purifi's new tweeter uses the good old aluminium alloy.
And the Kaiser acoutics designer got a pair for testing, says he wants to sell his T34B now.
It was said the 32mm bliesma Al measure better than the 32 Be.
Anyway, at the beginning the T25Be was 300 e a pair, now it is 700. W/o me...
I have hard time to understand how Purifi could do better than ScanSpeak or SB Acoustics. Hope Hificompass is going to recieve one.

Totally different behaviour off axis. Use what fits your design.
It would be very interesting to compare T34A and the Purifi tweeter.
These big tweeters are a different league for high power home cinema, 1" tweeters can't get that SPL level. Purifi designed the off axis behaviour with the tweeter - all normal tweeters just behave as they do with their membrane size. Of course this will sound different in a room.
