Tweeter Design

[Cpyder]

I was just wondering what your guys's opinions were on different tweeter designs. Do you think they make a substantial difference and/or is it simply up to the designer to choose the type? I'm guessing the standard dome tweeter can be made cheaper than other designs, as it seems this it the default type used on lower-end speakers. I'm not implying they can't be made to sound excellent however.

From the speakers I've listened to, I absolutely love the ring radiators that Polk uses on their higher-end stuff. So relaxed and natural. Voices sound amazing! I never think they sound too bright in my sound treated room.

Also, are there any plasma tweeters out there commercially sold?

Also, are there any plasma tweeters out there commercially sold?There are a few kits/sets of directions out there. They are also available in a couple of commercial designs. You would have to be crazy to bring a pair in your living space.

What do you mean by standard dome?

Just your basic dome tweeter. I didn't want to confuse it with ring radiators which are a type of dome tweeters.

You'll see more domes than ring radiators on high end designs. Domes have better off axis response.
