Plz describe the difference between RAAL ribbon and Satori BE

I would not mind getting my ears on a set of those BePure+3's. It's interesting that the mids are open in the back.

The jury is still in (in my mind) as to whether or not the beryllium tweeters are my cup of tea. I love some aspects of them but even in some of the higher end speakers, they tend to get a little bright and overexposed/ overpowering at times, even when not in a heavy passage. They also seem to be very quick in their natural rolloffs.

Could be the upstream gear in many of these cases. It definitely wasn't the source, as I always listened to the same track on all of them (along with others) but the end result seemed to remain consistent within all of them.

The first time I heard one was in Charlotte and at first, I thought I was gonna have to change my speakers to get one with a tweeter like that! Many aspects sounded really, really good but that observation quickly wained, the more I listened. Listening fatigue got me out each time within about 40 minutes or less of listening, even though we were listening to some great music.

If you ever consider that tweeter, go listen....and listen for a while, listening to many songs you are familiar with before you decide to pull the trigger.

Trey has this type of tweeter in his Grande Utopias [EDIT - Correction. He has the Tioxid titanium-dome tweeter] and I wasn't really that big a fan of them (I have told him this, so it's not like he'll be surprised) until he basically reconfigured his entire rig, made many, many upgrades and squeaked out just about every possible ounce of performance out of them. Most people aren't willing to go through that amount of dough and coin to get things to sound like his sound though. That was a lot of work. It paid off for him though.

Mine have the Seas Millennium tweeter but TBT, my preference is the Revalator tweeter.....but there is no way to utilize them in either the Linbrooks or the Woodmere's, unfortunately, because of the crossover points and slopes. The differences are small between the two tweeters but are still yearned for 'till today.

Awe dang. Tioxid titanium-dome tweeter....my bad, I thought it was the beryllium. Thanks for the correction. That may explain why I didn't get listening fatigue with your speakers (unless you played it at rattle your brain, INSANE levels )

They do share many of the same traits though, with what I observed....(when you first got them).
