revelator vs. TLR vs. millenium

I can not stop thinking about this quote, nor can I stop thinking about which tweeter is better, the Seas Millenium or the new SS ring radiator. Taco says that voices sound real with the SS radiator, but according to the charts that are floating around the net, soprano voices do not go above about 2.2kHz max. And the SS ring radiator needs to be crossed over at 2kHz with a steep XO.... So how much influence will it have on voices?

Could be that the speakers he listened to with the SS in them had exceptional midranges. Unless he listened to the same speakers with two different tweeters (only difference being the tweeters), I'd say that the tweets were not what was making the voices sound so good.

WRT tweeters, it's all about resolution of the voiced/unvoiced consonants, voice sibilance, and their overtones out to ~9kHz.

I finally got to audition the R2 and there was a sibilance problem that didn't show up on the other systems, though I guess it could have been elsewhere in the signal path and just had sufficient resolution to reproduce it, like good horns do.

Would the money be better spent on the ATC 3" Super dome?

in one word....YYYYEEESSS...then you could go for a real 3-way - much better.
and then put the SS ring radiator dome on top of it - and yes it's perhaps the best dometweeter at the moment - a friend of mine uses it in his (very) big toni geer speakers.
you need to decide whether you want a dome or another type of highfrequency unit, its not about resolution - the drive units have to work together in many ways.
the ravens have good resolution but i don't think i would pair them with a mid dome.....i would use a dome tweeter for that.
