Jon and Thomas, this question is mostly directed at you guys. But I would enjoy any input from anyone who has good knowledge to share on the subject.
I'm curious as to what typical sound qualities are prevelant from different types of tweeters. I am fairly familiar with the differences between metal dome tweeters and soft dome tweeters. I'm very curious about ribbon tweeters, and any other types out there. I know that this is a very generic question. I realize certainly, that the sound difference in just "soft dome" tweeters as a category can be widely varied.
I'm looking for some input as to what the general categorical sound differences are, and the pros and cons of each.
I'm sort of curious as to why Jon and Thomas chose to use soft dome tweeters in the MKIV speakers, as opposed to a ribbon like the Ravens, or another type. I know that specifically there is a very good reason for this decision, but I'm trying to get some general knowledge from the thinking side of why. (Cost? X-Over capabilities? Dispersion? Sound Quality? Personal Tastes? Power capabilities? etc).
Thanks for any inputs. I'm learning as I go, and I'm the type of person that likes to draw upon the experiences of those who are very respected in their wisdom on such things.
