[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 98013, member: 20"] I remember studying one DIY design published on the web. The critical part seems to be the diaphragm. My impression was that while it is certainly possible to build a diaphragm to demonstrate the concept, it is impossible to make one for an AMT tweeter with really competitive performance. If you can buy a diaphragm then the rest of the tweeter seems to be extremely simple to make. Strong neodymium bar magnets and few machined steel parts... Diaphragms for the ESS AMT are readily available and not outrageously expensive. They need some sort of horn or waveguide loading though as they have much lower power handling than the newer types using high temperature materials and special bonding techniques to attach the conductor to the film.
