The
Any experience with this driver? I have a theory on what makes some amps and DACs sound different and to do some testing, I am looking for pretty low distortion drivers with an extended response, but no breakup issues. Some ribbons maybe. Some planers maybe. I saw come comments on modifying AMT drivers to control edge resonances. And of course well behaved soft domes with a bit of ferofluid. A good old school SS D2905 is probably a safe choice.
Beston RT002A Ribbon Tweeter
Is listed as a ribbon, yet it looks to have a kapton membrane with a printed stator. So it is a planer speaker? Or as some invent terms "iso-dynamic" By syntax I expect, a ribbon will have a transformer as the conductor is a strip of foil.Any experience with this driver?

I think I would disagree. We have different terms for a reason.
So, the Beston is a planer? Guess it does not matter as it won't go low enough for my test, but it looks like a nice bit of kit.

Ribbon, conductive metal foil. RAAL.
Planar, conductive traces on flat substrate. EMIT.
AMT, folded ribbon. Heil/Adam
Electrostatic, charged insulated membrane. Stax/Quad
At least that's how it is in my head.

Fully agree with it sq...
Most of the time planars are considered more accesible form of ribbon tweeters. As a matter of fact you see many of them called planar-ribbon.

Here is measurements of beston tweeter and the discussion about planar vs ribbon
