I like the XST2's I use. I really want to try the new series that they were replaced by. I have tried numerous low end brand tweeters (Pyle, Power Akoustik, etc) and did not like them at all (very raspy IMO compared to the Crescendos). On less than rated crossed higher than recommended frequency had no luck whatsoever with the cheaper brands. Just some of my .02

And to add to the brands I have I tried Audiopipe as well (which weren't very great IMO). Brands I haven't tried but would like to know about would be the Lanzar OPTI's, DB Drive, NEW Soundstream (carbon fiber-ish faced), DD, Cadence, and the Eminence.

Exactly what I was looking for . . . . a 'thank you'

Are you asking about bullet tweeters/pro audio tweeters? I've seen but not heard the DB Drive "super" tweeters. It's not even a thing around here to use this kind of product.

Truly any tweeter can work as a supertweeter. Basically if we are on the same page, a supertweeter is placed up high and xover high to raise sound stage. I personally would look for a nice ribbon tweeter on a tweeter like an Alpine type x. You dont want somthing that is loud because the pulls away from your main speakers.

The question wasn't about that type of tweeter application. It's more like this: dB Drive P5 4D Massive Audio CT6 Super Bullet Tweeter

Well as far as I have seen so far the crescendo spuer tweets seem to be the best cash wise, as far as performance compared to the others that you guy have listed, i dont know. Ill have to do some more research...
