A studio monitor is a work-horse not a show-pony

Here's some precedence for the 3-way path: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/193689-build-thread-ardor-point-source-monitor.html

Oh indeed! And like all things in a studio that might at first seem ugly, if they sound amazing they very quickly become beautiful by connotation.

From the Ardor thread, something to ponder:

I did an experiment to evaluate how the high end dispersion affects the sound. The DSP lets me switch different setups on the fly so I tried the original 3-way vs. no tweeter and running the SS10F fullrange. I was surprised to learn that the difference was indeed minimal and I became a believer in FAST designs (Fullrange And Subwoofer Techonology). The 3-way sounded a bit more airy and had more substance to the presentation but it was more of a subtle improvement than a substantial one.

I'd also recommend foam blocks if you do decide to use a dome, especially if you are averse to using a waveguide.

Reading this page made me curious to try some of these felting techniques myself.

Does this look like the right stuff to get?

This looks useful for it...:

Hi,

the german DIY magazin Klang&Ton used the CA22RNY together with the Noferro12 (12 H1069 19TF) tweeter; crossover frequency ~2100Hz:
