[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8650135, member: 675210"] Personal preference is definitely a huge factor. What I am after and the best way I can describe it is, a natural, bell like tone. Point of reference: I play guitar and I have played EVERYTHING from tiny to large guitar amps from solid state to hybrid to full on tube amps. All with the same source (pickups). My personal preference is that Fender Tube amps are superior to Marshall Tube amps when it comes to Tone, Sound and Dynamics. It is just the way the sound falls into my ears... I love Marshall amps but there is a difference and that is enough for me to use Fender... which I do. Honestly I am not that worried about the tweeter... if I had my way it would be the 6 1/2" midrange speaker and a tweeter in the 2" range. Optimally an 8" - 5 1/4" - 2" in each door. But I will work with what I can fit behind the panels. I have a theory about tweeters. My theory is that small, hard domes hurt the natural roll-off of metal instruments like cymbals because they are too light and fast. Maybe that is why some people say cloth tweeters sound more natural. I do know that when you hear a cymbal crash in person you can feel it too, it has mass and thickness. It's hard to get mass and thickness from a 1" metal dome. I know that high frequencies require a speaker to move many more times a second and it is easier to achieve that with a small speaker but I think at some point it begins to sacrifice natural impact. Most common instruments are going to roll off around 16Khz anyway. I am ranting... sorry. [/QUOTE]
