I put a couple days ago a silk dome tweeter in the game.  I look in my storages to see what I had there among the traditional silk domes. I ended up pulling out my North Creek Music D25 driver.

I generally like the silk dome tweeters. They very forgiving and generally well balanced. So I decided to try.

Melquiades defiantly was not able to drive it up to reasonable sound quality.  I always with irony was reading the BS-articles of the idiots-reviewers who where drooling about sound of the teens watts SETs (Lamm ML2 for instance) driving sun 90dB sensitive speakers. As well I never understood why people go for SETs amp if they use speakers with sensitivity in 90s. Anyhow, the Lamm M1.1 was driving the North tweeter… with second and third order at 11kHz to 13 kHz…

Generally I liked what I heard. Wide, low ambience noise, accurate and very non-abusive. However there were also tow things that pretty much disqualified this tweeter from the game.

1) Own glassy tone. It has very accurate HF but those FH sound like they are made from grave-stone. Pretend you are blinded and you drink wine and then somebody instead of wine give you a distil water. It is exactly how D25 sounds in comparing to the Vitavox S2’s HF. Do not take me wrong – there was nothing wrong with D25 tone – there was juts no tone at all that might be considered tone. It was more like a soup without salt, paper, species, meat, fish or vegetables. It was a soup that was made by boiling a home Depot’s hammer for 3 hours…

2) Dynamic and it all that I can say. When I played my playback loud, and I like to do it (because I can) then when the music jump into ffff  then the tweeters dived into quite auditable distortions…. Very unpleasant… and I do not think that it was the Lamm M1.1’s fault.

So, the silk dome was exportable not it. I would need something with 20dB more sensitivity…
