Anybody know which is the smoothest/warmest sounding tweeter out of these for digital?

RT1C-A?


Thanks!

I've used the RT1C-A with great results in my DM clones.
It seems to be the favorite in most of the Decware designs.

it looks like Decware has gone to a different HiVi tweeter in the latest incarnation of the ERRx - looks like an RT1.3we to me.  No idea what the decision making process was to use this tweeter - better sensitivity matching maybe? - who knows.  I'm sure Zygi could tell us.

I have a pair of 945's with the RT1C-A and they are definitely more refined sounding than nearly all dome's.  I also have another pair of stand-mount speakers with one of the many AMT clones for a tweeter and these might be even more "effortless" and natural sounding than the HiVi ribbons.  Never done a controlled volume A/B, they are very good though.
I can't see the pics on the www of the RT1.3we good enough to tell what it is exactly(ribbon, amt, ?), and I did not look closely at the ERRx during Zenfest either.

Probably just stick with the RT1C-A, buying 4 of them so $35.00 each is very reasonable.

Thanks Gentlemen!
