In theory wideband electronics with very gentle HF slopes are optimal. In practice I have never liked them. For the same reason I detest the 6922 tube vs the 12A series tubes or most less well known. As Romy notes, linearity and measurements in this area are difficult and I also feel this super HF region is more susceptible to line and radiated noise. The ribbon tweeter or electrostats are able to fake a natural treble air unlike anything else I've heard. It is a coloration but a pleasant one. But audio systems are just going to sound more closed in than real life. The question is how much that bothers you and what steps you feel necessary to mitigate but not eliminate it.
