Hello,

Ribbons are excellent but in a different application. Most of them operate as dipoles and are difficult to match with other ways using compression drivers + horns due to a very different kind of room interaction.

Classical tweeters used by audiophiles like Fostex 925, JBL 2405, Beyma CP21 will give classical results ( = mean results). Tweeters like Goto, Ale, Onken, TAD are far better sounding but expensive.

One of the best solution IMHO is to use a small radial horn with a high acoustic Fc (over 1200Hz) to load a TAD TD2001 driver (over the electrical cut-off you need, whatever the frequency). This is the solution often used by Yuichi Arai (with square horns)

or by Marco Henry with round horns

(Marco proposes for such applications a small horn having an acoustic
of 1450Hz and a larger one havin an acoustical cut-off of 870Hz)
