Well, like the title suggests i'm wondering what everyone considers the ultimate tweeter that you have had experience with.
Personally, I haven't tried to many but am quite partial to the Visaton TL 16 H.
What's yours?

I would like to hear a RAAL ribbon, to see if they really are as good as people say. Too bad the effiiciency isnt higher

Is this thread about any HF system? Or just about hi-fi tweeters and super tweeters?
An old Altec so far. I don´t know what type exactly. Does anyone have experience with GPA tweeters?

I'm interested in everything. Go wild.

Well in that case a TAD2001 mounted to the back of this:

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

When are you going to make the Unity's again?nickmckinney said:Well in that case a TAD2001 mounted to the back of this:

Generally more of a 'supertweeter' guy
But, here's a few that are pretty slick
Domes- peerless HDS. Great performer, high value.
Overall
A Capella plasma. Best tweeter 10k/pair can buy.
Ribbons/ribbon style- heil AMT1 (haven't heard the RAAL yet)
Not technically a tweeter, but usable response to 30k- fostex ff85k. Great highs on this, despite being directional.

Unity probably never unless they wanted me to, it is a patented design. I will be making that horn lens with just the tweeter again though, that is a design I worked out myself that I really enjoy.

My fave HF drivers are all compression units. Some BMS, Beyma and B&C and I'll hopefully be trying a couple of 18Sound units shortly.

Pity, though I thought as much. I was just holding out a glimmer of hope....nickmckinney said:Unity probably never unless they wanted me to, it is a patented design. I will be making that horn lens with just the tweeter again though, that is a design I worked out myself that I really enjoy.
Soft Dome
I'll add to my favorite list the:
Scan-Speak D3806/8200
A truly great driver.
Technically a mid/tweeter it does the tweeter job beautifully. Mates up sooo well with big paper woofers. 12-15-18". Does the harmonics of vocals and piano amazingly well.

There's some nice looking tweeters here...
Have you tried the Beyma 385/nd?
I think I may have read in an old post that you were thinking about it at one stage. If so any impressions?
