Vifa Ring Radiator tweeters
Anyone know if there are other speakers currently being produced that have these ring radiators? I know that Onix speaks used to but not really any other brands. Is there a reason? Would love to see other models using them.

There are plenty of models including the likes of Sonus Faber and YG Acoustics.
I'm surprised the .75" version, Vifa or Scanspeak brands, aren't used more often."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche -

I wouldn't go out of my way to demo them. Around the tweeter looks like a diffraction nightmare and those are the cheapest 1" Vifa RRs available."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.
