    Default Tweeter suggestion please

    I need a good sounding tweeter with at least 93dB sensitivity,
    that can cross at 1500 hz.
    Should not have to go over 20 watts.
    Is there a dome out there that can do this,
    or do I have to go with the pro horn type?

    All of these will most likely be fine with it:

    The DX is the cheapest, and probably fairly difficult to use though it doesn't seem to be at first glance. The SS-Discovery is where I'd put my hard-earned cash at this point since the DX is OOS.

    I thought you didn't like the DX25 crossed below 2000Hz? Change your mind?

    That Discovery does look very interesting. I wonder if it performs better than the Vifa below 2000Hz?

    Here's another couple you forgot to mention I think.

    No- I said I didn't like it xover'd below 2 kHz without the LCR comp for the Fs. I really like it in my 'MAX' project as it stands, and it has the Fs compensated. I'm xover'd at 1650 LR8 with the LCR.

    I can bet the lower Fs and 'chamber' of the SS-D might have a major advantage over the DX, and it's a shame I can't just throw money at a pair right now to try them.

    Did not click on every link, but I believe the Fostex FT48D will fit the bill.
