Hey everyone, surprised others haven't noticed this incoming model from ScanSpeak. Textreme 1" dome tweeter. Aside from the coolness factor of Textreme (at least for the last year) what really is cool about this particular model is the low end extension and very flat FR for a low profile design. Even among SS tweets, their low profile (small face plate) models tend to suffer considerably compared to the full sized versions of the same line. Honestly wish I had this before my center channel build, I could have probably shaved an inch and a half off the height of the front baffle. 🙂

For a small baffle tweet these are some excellent results:

Nice tweeter. Does have elevated 2nd order HD compared to other similar small format domes. The sound is very open according to another OEM I used to work with back in Europe. Textreme is a great diaphragm material for larger domes. It doesn't sound much different than Be or Alu/Mg when used in smaller domes. I prefer Alu/Mg for most purposes, especially for precision listening applications ie. monitoring, but Be is a close 2nd more like a very modern textile dome.
