Whoever followed the following thread:

kind of know what was brewing with Macondo tweeter. Over the last couple months I was working with RAAL Company

http://www.raalribbon.com/

on a project  of making a new tweeter for Macondo. The requirements were simple:

1) As high as possible sensitivity
2) As light as possible ribbon
3) As small as possible back chamber
4) As wide as possible horizontal diagram
5) Did I mention Sound?

When I exposed the RAAL’s Alexander to what I wanted he told me that he know exactly how to make this tweeter, had already a number of ideas and told me in fact he always want to have customers who would persue that type of “extreme” designs. Over the course of the project I had a great number of positive experiences, the experiences completely unexpected form a high-end manufacture. I’m not use to deal with manufactures who actually mean what they say and who have intentions and “meat on the bones” behind their “phraseology”…

Anyhow, as this point I would not comment at the RAAL “Water Drop” tweeter’s Sound. I have the initial feeing but I need more time to interpret the results. Ay this point I would juts post the picture of the tweeter. Alexander, I’m sure had fun what I told him that I would like the tweeter have cheeks and the ribbon sit in there as in the ass’s crack. Alex converted the idea of the “tweeter in an ass” into the Water Drop shape and I think he did a wonderful job. The 120 horizontal degree, 109dB and the 1.25T in the gap… I will be fin to make the RAAL “Water Drop” tweeter to sound proper in Macondo. I will be reporting the progress, my observations as the results.
