[QUOTE="chipwelder, post: 97677, member: 54"] There are lots more... it may be a bit exhaustive... Domes are soft - (paper, polyprop, silk other materials) / hard (magnesium, titanium, ceramic, aluminium) / inverted / edge driven / non-edge driven / 0.75", 1", 1 1/4", 2"... so you can basically take any of the above and match them together... and find a dome tweeter that fits the desciption. Oh ja, spherical domes, catenary domes, pointy domes, elliptical domes... Ribbon / planar magnetic / Heil transducer / believe there are some electrostatic tweeters too... maybe only proprietary... only aluminium foil, metalized plastic foil, wire stuck on backing... mylar foil... Foil stuck on kapton... Open rear chamber closed rear chamber, short long.... But all the characteristic sounds by all of the above technologies have prolly by now been engineered out of them... when looking at cost no object designs... so a mere pro and con thing won't be very simple...
