I am looking to do a component set that I am putting together myself. I have looked over a couple of different speakers and looking to see what tweeter to get, and what to look for when getting a tweeter.

I am looking for something not too sharp but very smooth.

Are you serious on those bullet tweets? those are a ton of crap!.... If you want to stay in that price range i say The seas neo tweets off madisound.com are insane for the money and will play pretty low but sound better then most production tweets out there. As for your mid range selection. Save acouple more bucks and get the dayton refs or check out the Mach 5 Mli's.

its how you set it up!.yes its will sound like *** if yo put them mis positioned and no equilization. but if properly tuned ive had good success with bullet i just bough a pair of these and was surprised by how good they sound then again i set all equalization right and spent like hours tunning them! http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PDBT48-Aluminum-Titanium-Tweeter/dp/B0013CAGKI

If I was going to invest all that time I would do it on drivers that were worth it but egh..... Thats just my opinion.

I'm lookin at the "Hiquphon OWI fs" tweets myself
