I'm wondering if anybody around here uses these things, and what sort of effects they have on a system. The ones made by Tannoy seem to be the most prevalent. Here is a description of one:

    I don't know if it's absolutely necessary to vapor deposit gold onto a titanium tweeter? But I will say that I have heard some very sweet sounding 25 micron thick pure titanium drivers when configured properly!

    So I'd be interested in how this one sounds..?
