Air Motion Tweeters?

[Squirrel!]

Has anyone any experience with these tweeters? I can't stand the shrill-ness of the tweets that come with the Infinity component set and am thinking the AMT would be what I'm looking for. All my home speakers are planars also and I love them. Thoughts on the AMT?

Thoughts on the AMT?

They work better with mids that play well over 4khz. Probably would be great in a 3 way setup. I had some connected with some Blues Audio 6.5s. There was a noticable gap on vocals, so they were replaced by some Boss TW12 tweeters from Autozone. All missing vocals were restored and clear. This is with the original Blues Audio crossover. Original tweeters were burned out by an RF amp that has a semi built in dsp.
I also have a set of Magnepan MGIIIa (Maggies). The amt tweeters on those are about 3 feet tall. They do sound awesome. Very clear airy, meaning the sound is not directional. Since they are open back, sound bounces of the rear wall as well.
