Just a random question but I'd just like to get some general thoughts on it. What would you rank as the better tweeter?
I'm building a speaker and I have used the Peerless in another project which I actually really like the sound of, however, I want to build another small scale mini monitor speaker this time and use a horn tweeter (and metal), because I like them.
Anyway I've tried the Klipsch budget speakers in the past and really liked those (the r-41m), it had such a live music sound to it and I'm putting it down to the horn they use, as I didn't think it was a really special speaker overall. The mid bass I believe was the let down and obviously lightweight chipboard cabinet. The cabinet actually wasn't that bad chipboard isn't the worst material if you ask me, possibly better and livelier than MDF but pros and cons, MDF is far denser better for bass, but they both fail miserably compare to ply, just my opinion.
In your opinions though is the Peerless a better, as good as, worse than what Klipsch give in they're budget mini monitors?
Here's the Peerless
Peerless by Tymphany H25TG05-04 1" Titanium Dome Tweeter with Waveguide 4 Ohm
And I have no idea of the Klipsch specs apart from they are 90º x 90º TRACTRIX HORNS, Aluminium.

so we've got some basis for comparison -

You don't say what you're pairing them with?

Oh well done, forgot about that resource.
Yes I like the horny thing and metal domes. Most seem to prefer soft domes and no horn either but I actually think it works to great effect. I do think metal domes 'when implemented well' just sound more realistic.
Not sure yet with the bass, I liked a Monacor SPH130 I used in another project and it was reasonably cheap as well to buy so might try that again.
