Thanks, Jeff. 🙂
Just my own listening experience, but I found my speakers sounded awful with a Morel CAT 298 soft dome tweeter.
I have moved on to cone tweeters (below) with a third order tweeter filter at 3.5kHz. Much more real sounding IMO, and the Monacor with a metal centre dome is smoother than the Visaton TW70. Some dispersion issues and I'm still doing stuff to tune them up, but a lot of fun, and at £6 a pop, well, who's arguing? 🙂

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Improves powerhandling, but can create a lower frequency oil can resonance... i tend to avoid them, or block them off.

OK, I buy into your greater experience here, Dave.
So that means my unvented retro (and Tannoy-like) Sony bass/mid units may be as good as it gets?

But dammit, they don't make 'em like this anymore. 😡
BTW, I'm sure you share my enthusiasm for cone tweeters, which is what your favoured little Fostex (106E IIRC) unit is.
