Anyone use a Vifa ring radiator tweeter?

Look into something like a Pioneer Premier P880PRS HU, it has an active xover built into it.

I've heard about that HU alot around here, but having just looked at it online, there's no way I'd be happy with it in my car; I really need a black case, but that pioneer definately has a clean look. Are there any (black face) Alpines or other Pioneers that have this ability?

IMHO, Vifa DX25 (ie, hybrid dome/ring) = FTW, Vifa/Scan Speak XT series = FTL. Never heard a pair of XTs that actually sounded completely "natural" with music. And I've heard them in $10000+ home speakers, built by big-name designers...
They were a big fad with DIY speaker builders a few years ago... but it's interesting how virtually NOBODY is using them now, in those circles, compared to then...

Can you explain in more detail the sonic differences you've noticed between systems utilizing the DX series tweeters vs the XT series tweeters?
