If you look at the spec of this little TP75, I will be surprised if one could XO it lower than the TPL150! why a littlier planar should have less constraint in the low ?
Imho the Heil AMT1 is a better value (but if you need to embed it in a tower speaker because its shape)...

Yeah and I've used it myself. The tweeter has low distortion and a very smooth frequency response. Of course there is a rising hump due to the waveguide that you've got to account for, but besides that the tweeter is a doddle to use. Because of the the waveguide though the tweeter can be used lower than you would traditionally take a 1" dome.
Zaph has some measurements of the DXT too.
Regarding Troels linear scale for his distortion measurements, I agree, the scale is horrible for showing the finer detail, ie the interesting stuff, of how a driver is performing. Here are some other measurements of the aluminium SB tweeter though.
??-????????
Certainly no slouch! Excellent suppression of the higher orders and very good performance everywhere else.
No idea. They are being launched at the Munich show next week.
SB usually undercut Scan by a good margin tho

The new SB beryllium dome
Impressive. What is the big advantage of a beryllium dome over the other types of dome , besides that is very had to produce and maybe an excuse to be
much more expensive?
This is whorrying me as the 150 is better in real life higher than 1500 Hz (at least if using it at highest splI assume) ! If the same logic & technology are Inside the 75, one should have an effective crossover much higher (and here few mergin because 92 dB only...)
Well future measurement will tell us !
I'm looking forward to see the curves of this new Satori as well 🙂... And if they keep the price low it could be enjoyable !
It seems all the beyrilium diagphragm Be material comes from the same US factory ????
I'm almost sure to go with a TW29R-B.
not sure if it worth to pay more for the neodymium version.

It's low weight and high rigidity. It has a very fast sound conduction speed, 12.9km/s
As a tweeter material it's only second to pure diamond in this regard, but let's wait for domes made of sheet graphene ..
Not sure it would work or not. The Viawave apparently can cross at 2.5khz with a 3rd order circuit. If the 6.5" satori is ok that high then yes.
Please do, I've got spare 8 ohm satoris and viawaves and looked into it.
If going 3rd order on the tweets, one cap value cd be quite expensive (if going for decent caps)
Hello , I got a TW29R-B at Solen.
first impressions : the dispersion looks better and sounds great.
Crossing it at 2khz , later I will setup up my UMIK-1 and I will check for distortion.
I was told at Solen that 1.5k to this tweeter might be too much , in terms of distortion.
Thanks guys for the all the comments.
