I personally love the Phillips 1" and 2" soft dome tweeters for nice crisp highs without that hard twang that you would get from those metal cone tweeters. My other fav I'd the JBL bullets for the really high frequencies at low to mid sound. The jBL 2245j is really good too.
The JBL LSR series studio monitors use a soft dome tweeter tucked into a waveguide. Not quite a horn but might as well be. It's nearly 4 inches by 6 inches wide. The LSR series are renowned for perfect sound stage and no matter where you go in the room you can hear both speakers clearly.
I got RCF N350, B&C DE250 & DE45. All three sound loud & crysp, but when the DE45 gets loaded with around 30-40 watt, it plays crysp and amazing, cause is 3 kg magnet, with pure titanium diaphragm, espetially on vocals. They do need high power woofer like the RCF lf15p530 or B&C 15PS100 to match the perfect full range sound
When it comes to dome tweeters I really like the Seas 27TDFC, despite not playing as low as the Dayton RS28A that I used before the Seas. But it's been 10 years since I moved to compression drivers, initially with the B&C DE10 for about 2 years and then finally the JBL 2408H with the JBL 6x6 PT waveguide and ever since I never had the urge to change it, it does such a good job.
Stumbled onto this video and was surprised to see that favorite was compression driver. I'm running Seos12 horns with Radian 475PB compression drivers, which I am able to cross at 1kHz at 18dB slope with dual 8" woofers with analogue active crossover. 107dB sensitive horn/compression driver driven directly from quality amplifier without any passive crossover parts or L-pad sounds extremely pure.
I'm working with a Utah WD90 box so it has to be like 3.5 to 4 inches, I think 4 inches where the 4 mounting holes are. Also it mounts from the back inside so the front of the tweet needs to have a flat surface area can't be tapered off, and if it sticks out too much it's going to make contact with the woven cloth cover.
I had a hunch that Be JBL / IWATA was going to be your fave even though it's crazy expensive and large. Also gotta love those big red Mick Jagger lips lol.
Really nice channel you have here:)
I would love to see you test this Ceramic Dome tweeter Visaton KE 25 SC - 8 Ohm! Thanks for all you work love the passion you have for it!
Best video quality I've seen on your channel. Great lighting too.
Another enjoyable video Ryan. Thank you.

Ribbons are my favorite tweaters. They sound amazing
The new Chane L series are using the SB acoustic ring tweeters. They are also using SB acoustics woofers in the L series line.

Good information, solid video. Beard 🧔!
Scanspeak ss9500 and Hiquphon are favorites after 15 years. Followed by Xt25 and rs28 .
I love the SB acoustics. One of the smoothest, softest sounding tweeters going around.
The dual concentric dome tweeters are odd but I have used them with excellent results
