[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7862217, member: 573547"] I would suggest auditioning different types of tweeters to find the type you like(textile, silk, titanium, etc.) Unless you intend to run passive x-overs, this will allow you to shop for good drivers online by having a general idea of what sound to expect from the different materials used in tweeters. I am not saying that all silk dome tweeters sound exactly the same, but two that have similar specs will be close, and a lot of the time, the differences you can detect will be due to the passive x-overs used in various comp sets. These passive x-overs are roughly 1/3 -1/2 the cost of a comp set. Example: [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p-5546-esotec-system-242-gt-dynaudio-65-2-way-component-speakers.aspx"]WoofersEtc.com - Esotec System 242 GT - Dynaudio 6.5" 2 Way Component Speakers[/URL] the x-overs used in the 242GT: [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p-6149-x252-dynaudio-crossover.aspx"]WoofersEtc.com - x252 - Dynaudio Crossover[/URL] If you plan to run a Active x-over set up, don"t pay for something you will not use.
