Are Piezo Tweeters frowned upon?

I did a similar thing as @Freedom666 ,but used acrylic model paint instead of tinfoil. I think the important thing is to add damping behind the cone. I used fiberglass which gave good results and took away some edginess. They are OK for pro sound where weight is a factor, and as others have said, they are good as super tweeters.

If you do not want to desolder a piezo disc to reach the back cavity of a piezo tweeter for damping it.

Putting holes in it worked out.

Very careful drilling and then stuffing with soft fibers from a drying machine.

Helps the sound alot.

closed it with silicone sealant
