    the rt25s definitely have the old soft dome tweeter that I myself am not a big fan of:

    I owned the rt3s, which were the previous version, as well as the rt7 and rt25i which both have the tri-lam tweeter, as well as the rti4s with the Silk/Polymer tweeter, and the tri-lam dome is by far my fav. Most detail without being too harsh or bright like I find the Silk/Polymer. YMMV...

    Haven't made any decisions yet. Just gathering data. I need to get the pre and amp first, then the speaker (since I have Monitor 60's right now I can use)

    Seeing about getting some totem dreamcatchers. Lets see what happens.

    If not I will keep looking for some vintage.
