My Top 3 Tweeter Recommendations

Check out this video to hear about my 3 top recommended tweeters and 2 extra tweeter suggestions that are a bit unique. Enjoy.

Ribbons are my favorite tweaters. They sound amazing

[dougg]

Ring radiators are my favorite. Smooth and detailed.

[JRadian]

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.

3. XT25BG60
2. SB ACOUSTICS SB29RDNC
1.Denovo Audio SEOS-10 with Denovo Audio DNA-36 BCde 250(out of stock or something)

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

Really nice channel you have here:)
I also use the Sb29 on my newest project. It does a really great job in the low highs and it can cross over nicely low.
Unfortunately it’s pretty directional but that could be due to the big size for a tweeter.
Anyways, keep up the great work, cheers!

I love the SB acoustics. One of the smoothest, softest sounding tweeters going around.

[robpeters]

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.

Scanspeak ss9500 and Hiquphon are favorites after 15 years. Followed by Xt25 and rs28 .

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!

[CorradoVRz]

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.
Eventually I plan on building another set of speakers (this time passive) using the Seas tweeter with the SEOS 8 waveguide to use it in the garage or when doing work outside.

[petersouthernboy]

After years of working with all sorts of dome and ribbon tweeters - I have to say that horns have rocked my world. It’s an adult swim but the results have been more profound than anything else I’ve worked with in my Audio journey.

Another enjoyable video Ryan. Thank you.

Would be great if you could compare the the alternative clones of the DE250. This would be very helpful for people living outside the US who can't access the original or the even better DIYSG 360 option at affordable prices or at all. For those of us that would like to try some of the DE250 based Econowave builds or those using the SEOS and 360 combo on Hifi Circuit this would be invaluable information.

Options that come to mind include the PRV 290Py, Celestion CDX1-1747, MD Acoustics DE250P and Dayton Audio D250P (perhaps others?)

[hansme]

I may be asking too much, but would be great for DIY if you could offer some winning combinations: woofer, tweeter, crossover details. I'm in Europe, and DIYS has some nice products but shipping + tax increases price by 50%.
Love your videos, keep on going please.

That Visa 25mm ring tweeter is a good one. Many years ago I built a two wat with the Skaanings 5” and and a Dyaudio Esotec tweeter. One of the tweeters got wrecked by a hockey stick( don’t ask) and I decided to use the Vifa ring radiator as a drop in. It was cheap and had similar specs. I actually preferred the sound to the Esotec.

[iowaudioreviews]

Are you using a L-pad with that horn in some cases to bring it down to match most woofers? Pairing it with an average woofer that's say 89db 1w/1m isn't the 108db horn way over powering?

[erichill]

The new Chane L series are using the SB acoustic ring tweeters. They are also using SB acoustics woofers in the L series line.

[flyhouseoftruth]

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.

When i was in uni, people got very excited about Beryllium anything due to the toxicity of it's salts. they wouldn't let me make off with an x-ray detector that was being scrapped because of it. And now here it is in some consumer(ish) electronics! anything for good HiFi haha

[edwardcase]

The dual concentric dome tweeters are odd but I have used them with excellent results
